What is recorded here

Balmoral Castle, Roe Deer Statue on Eastern Parterre stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, though no human date or named event is recorded for the stone deer. The Eastern Parterre gives the statue a clear home, while the castle and local landscape surround it. Any deeper story must remain imagination because the facts do not name the maker, purpose or moment when it was set in place.
