Boagies mansion men

I decided to take a wee detour on my way home from a work event,

I wanted to go and visit "the Mansion" or "boagies" as wee used to call it as kids, to take a few pics of it and the walled garden, I have so many fantastic childhood memories linked to it. :)

I have to say I was surprised at how sad i felt to see the state of the mansion and the walled garden, anyone can just walk in, its so overgrown!!

I did however remember some amazing clubs, bands, events etc that I attended as a child and early teen, I also remember how the two statues that are in this shot, used to make me run with fear due to a local childhood myth,lol,
In my memory I always visualised them as being huge on the side of the mansion, but I now realise it was just because I was a child :)

I hope that they find some way to restore them to there former condition.
