这八天的"打架"时钟具有由重量驱动的运动. 面相为取暖器于金属上,手用多彩花花纹设计. 钟手为金铜. 在计时秒和历日上有两个更小的拨号. 中央大厅经常放出高个的时钟,这样人们很容易看到时间在楼梯上或下行走,希尔-斯蒂德入口大厅的这一块就属于这种情况。 今天,许多人可能看到这个钟,称之为“祖父钟”。 1876年之后,随着一首歌的流行,“我祖父的时钟太高,不适合架子,所以在地上坐了九十年。 ” 根据"苏格兰老钟表匠"1453-1850年的记载,有两位叫罗伯特·麦克亚当(Robert MacAdam)的人于19世纪在Dumfries工作:一位父亲和他的儿子. 罗伯特·麦克亚当(Robert MacAdam Senior)(在"M'Adam"一书中被确定)从1820年到1845年工作,而罗伯特·麦克亚当·朱尼尔从1840年到1867年是钟表制作人. 大厅中的这颗钟最有可能由罗伯特·麦克亚当·西里尔(Robert MacAdam Senior)在早年担任钟表制作人期间所制作.
