Scope and Content Statue from north, Drummond Castle, Perth & Kinross This shows a white marble 'herm', or sculptured bust upon a tapering column. The figure represents hunting, and is draped with animal skins, a dead deer, and a game bird. A quiver (case for holding arrows) hangs by his side. The figure stands among clipped box hedges in the formal garden. Drummond Castle had well established gardens by the 17th century, but the present parterre was not laid out until the 1820s by Lewis Kennedy (estate factor and former gardener to the French Empress Josephine) for Clementina Drummond and her husband 21st Baron Willoughby de Eresby. The garden was replanted by Phyllis Astor in the 1950s. Drummond Castle was built c.1490, but the complex of buildings visible today consist of a gatehouse which was added in 1630-6 by architect John Mylne III (1611-67) and an L-plan mansion built for the 4th Earl of Perth in 1689. The mansion was extended in the 18th or early 19th century, and remodelled in Baronial style into its present form by architect G T Ewing in 1878 and 1900. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
