How  you  can  contact  "Modern  Sunclocks"
 
 

 
 
If an Internet 'search' has taken you directly to THIS page,  then
we would strongly recommend that you should firstly go to the
opening page of our web-site  -  so you can choose any section
of most interest to you, such as Photographs or the Frequently
Asked Questions  -  or even making money from "Sunclocks" !
 
Please click this link, if you would like to contact Douglas Hunt
whose sundial designs are used as unique interactive features
on a world-wide basis, (and mainly in the 'Educational Sector').
 
 

 
 

 
Apart from just telephoning us, (at any time of day or night) - then
by far the easiest and most popular method, is to send a message
via our web-site.  To activate a pre-formatted 'Response Form', for
contacting us - simply  CLICK  ON  MY  PHOTOGRAPH , (below).
 
That 'Form' allows you to enter any relevant details, for a potential
"Sunclock"  layout - or just ask questions, on our Human Sundial.
 
Usually within 24 hours of receiving the information (or questions),
we will then reply - either via E-mail, or more quickly by telephone.
 
 

Douglas Hunt, (Proprietor)
 

 
 
You could contact us by  TELEPHONE  -  or send a  FAX ,  on:
 
01294 552250   (in Britain),      + 44 1294 552250   (outwith UK).
 
 
Our business is open 24 hours, and on every day of the year - so no matter
 where you are located, you can contact us at any time of the day or night.
 
The sun is always shining on a "Sunclock",     somewhere in the world !
 

 
 
If you wish,  you can  WRITE  to us,  at the following address:
 
 
"Modern  Sunclocks",    1  Love  Street,    Kilwinning,
 
Ayrshire,   Scotland,   KA13  7LQ,   United  Kingdom.
 
 
 

 

 
 
So that you can convert our price of 35 Pounds into any other
currency, we can connect you to a fast (and very easy to use)
'money conversion' web-site.  If you visit this, enter "35 GBP"
and select your own currency.  Just click on the spinning link
shown below, to be taken directly to that Currency Converter.
 
                                                  
 
Bear in mind that you may reduce this price by 10%, if you can tell us the
accurate 'Latitude & Longitude' for the location of your "Sunclock" - plus
lower the cost by a further 5%, if you order 'E-mailed' Plans (PDF format).
 
Please click on this link, for a reminder of any discounts you could claim,
which can reduce the price you pay for our Plans by anything up to 20%.
 
 
 

 

 
 
Although our "Sunclocks"  have significant advantages when
compared with a typical 'pedestal-mounted' sundial  -  both in
general, and as curriculum-wide outdoor educational projects
for Schools  -  you will require a suitable area of level ground.
 
Details of this, are on our 'Frequently Asked Questions' page.
 
 
 
The 'Picture Gallery' section shows numerous photographs of
various different materials plus installation techniques, which
can be used to create a "Sunclock"  -   and also contains links
to suppliers offering a ready-made 'kit' of component parts, or
who install this feature as a 'playground marking' for Schools.
 
 
 
 
For those people who might prefer a more 'traditional' type of
sundial, then we would recommend that you visit the web-site
of Charlestown Sundials.  They can supply a range of custom-
made dials (in various metals), and at very reasonable prices.
 
 
If you are perhaps looking for an attractive 'Armillary Sphere'
sundial, then we would suggest that you should also visit the
web-site of John Close Sundials  -  specializing in such dials,
as well as several other horizontal plus 'wall-mounted' types.
 
This photograph below illustrates a typical Armillary sundial,
though they will usually indicate 'solar' (sun) time  -  instead
of correct clock time, and cannot cope with Daylight-Saving,
while a "Sunclock"  automatically caters for clock-changes !
 

 
 
Please bear in mind, however, that (unfortunately!) normal sundials are
targets for theft or vandalism  -  while a ground-level "Sunclock"  is not,
plus our unique Human Sundials will not need any 'supporting plinths'.
 
You can click these links to find the basic reasons why our "Sunclock"
has become so popular, when compared with other  SUNDIALS  -  or to
see the advantages of Human Sundials, (including as School projects).
 
It is also possible for you to make some money, with our "Sunclocks"  !
 
 
 
 
Maybe if you have a general interest in sundials (of all types),
then you might like to consider being a 'member' of either the
British Sundial Society - or - North American Sundial Society.
 
Don't worry if you are in another part of the world, as membership is not
just exclusive to people who are located in Britain or the United States !
 
 
 

 
 
    These following 'links' take you to web-sites having
other useful information, but are un-connected with sundials :
 
 
 
If 'organic' gardening topics are of interest to you, (or perhaps
environmental education areas within School grounds)  -  then
please refer to a main UK web-site of  The HDRA organization.
 
There is a "Sunclock"  at both their 'Ryton' and 'Yalding' sites.
 
 
 
In addition to our own unique 'Human Sundials', this web-site
(based in the USA) shows links to similar resources  -  mainly
on the general educational theme of "Sunlight and Shadows".
 
 
 
If you are looking for other 'Home & Garden' products, in any
category  -  we suggest browsing the Easy to Recall web-site
which also has interesting articles, and information services.

"Sunclock"  pages are dedicated to the memory of Ian F Downie (1952-'98),
without whose help and encouragement this web-site might not have existed.
 
 
If you are interested, clicking on this link will take you to a short 'Profile' of our
Human Sundial business - plus how it had originally developed from a hobby,
or click on this link for a more detailed success story of "Modern Sunclocks".
 
 
Please contact Douglas Hunt if you may need business-related advice, as he
is always glad to give free help and guidance - or see the profit opportunities,
to find out how you can make some money from our Human Sundial concept.
 
There are several ways, to create an income - from just re-selling customized
sundial plans, to making or installing 'component-parts' for a Human Sundial.
 
 
The easiest method, is to paint each unique layout on to School playgrounds.
UK companies typically charge around 600 Pounds ($1000), for this service.

or view pages from School-books (UK & USA) which show our "Sunclocks".
