Glamis Castle, Statue of King Charles I — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Glamis Castle in Angus, Scotland, still wears the stone face of King Charles I, though no date or maker is recorded for the work. The statue stands inside a castle that has survived fire, war and royal favour, suggesting the king was worth carving twice if stone could hold him. Perhaps a sculptor chased the king’s gaze across the chamber until marble obeyed, or perhaps the castle simply refused to forget the man who bled for Scotland. Either way, the face remains, watching the room breathe.
