What is recorded here

Fingask Castle, Garden and Statuary in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, holds a medieval architectural fragment, an unknown-period font, a well, and 19th-century garden ornaments and statues. The castle fragment may have watched barges pass on the river while the garden ornaments and statues arrived centuries later to decorate a different kind of pride. Together they mark a place where old stone and newer display still share the same ground.
