Lowther Dragon.

Another day and another visit to Lowther castle, for the same reasons as yesterday.  I have blipped the castle many times so I was looking for something different.  This sculpture hasn't been in place until these visits.  It stands in the courtyard outside the café among the trees.  I was fortunate in having a nice blue sky to act as aback ground.

Why a dragon?  It is the logo used for the Lowther Castle but why I have yet to be able to find out.  It was suggested on Clickychicks shot of the Dragon there was probably a Welsh connection.  Not that I can find.  It seems the ancestors of the family came over with William the conqueror in 1066 and have been around what was formerly Westmorland (now south Cumbria) ever since.
