Description:
An unusual view of Douglas Castle with a cow and a fence in the foreground. The successful Scottish businessman Douglas Lapraik built a castle in Pokfulam in the 1860s. Dairy Farm was set up in 1886 across the road from Douglas Castle. One of the cows appears to have wandered off and discovered this extraordinary building.
Douglas Castle is now halls of residence for the University of Hong Kong in Pokfulam.
