Friday Fotos – guarding the entrance to Larnach Castle

February 21, 2020 By Terry

Welcome to Larnach Castle

Guarding the entrance to Larnach Castle — I’m not sure I’d want to be greeted by these guys (one on each side of the front door) when I arrived home!

Welcome to Larnach Castle. Beautifully restored, this home was the brainchild of wealthy entrepreneur William Larnach. There are two of these statues, one on each side of the front door. The grounds are spectacular, but so is the history of this mock castle. The entire estate was almost lost to developers, but thanks to the love and foresight of the Barker family, it survives and is now open to the public. If you happen to be in Dunedin, New Zealand, make sure you don’t miss this stop. It’s a great tour, complete with entertaining docents!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
