It was returned to Church ( the artist) , who, after an unsuccessful attempt to sell it at auction,[13] reportedly offered it to Donald Trump's Menie estate golf resort.[16] However, it remained in the garden of the sculptor's home, where it was incorporated into a replica of a castle, and with additions to it that included the head of the decapitated governor of York.[17] In April 2016, it was reported in local press that the statue might be moved to Ardrossan's old Barony Church.[18] In September 2021, it was moved to Glebe Park stadium in Brechin.[19] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DD3B89F3-8564-4F81-B8E4-A836EC150DAA.jpeg"]77701[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
