The Kirkhill Astronomical Pillar, also known as the Kirkhill Observatory or Kirkhill Pillar, is an astronomical structure located near Kirkhill in Scotland. It was built in the early 19th century, around 1824, by the Reverend Robert A. Smith, who was a notable astronomer of his time. The pillar served as a sundial and was designed to assist in astronomical observations and provide a means to measure time using the sun's position.
