Driveway leading to the stables |

The stable block was probably built about 1800, around the same time as the house. |
 |
In the courtyard a decapitated swan stands above a clock on which time stands still. Below is a stone relief of two griffons holding an urn. |
 |
 |
The mythological theme continues on the courtyard walls. These Goddesses probably represent Health,Science,Harvest and Art. |

Cobblestones |

Outside the old surrounding wall a woodland path leads to the Lily Pond |

Late afternoon sun filters through the trees and blue skies are reflected on the lily pond. |
Thank you for visiting

Hello,Ruby.
I am always interested in the historical buildings you have introduced. They are beautifully grand. I like to to see those mythological decorations on the wall.
The cobblestones is beautiful in the simplicity.
Every time I see the news about Scotland independence on TV theses days I remember you.
Have a good week!
the reflection pictures are gorgeous. Loved the cobblestone one too :)
Wunderschöne Impressionen haben Sie eingefangen. Ich mag diese wunderbaren Reliefs, aber auch die Pflastersteine. Schön sind diese Spuren der Vergangenheit, eingebettet in wundervoller Natur.
Vielen lieben Dank auch für Ihren Besuch auf meinem Blog.
