What is recorded here

Drummond Castle, South Avenue, Statue (said to Be of Jupiter) stands as an 18th Century statue in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The claim that it depicts Jupiter sounds like a joke the castle tells itself, yet stone does not laugh. A person may have carved it, placed it, or watched it rain. The avenue still holds the shape of that forgotten gesture.
