and next to him is the Goat Major, sorry the picture is so fuzzy. I'm not sure I completely understand it but as I read in teh castle the Welsh regiment use a goat as its mascot because a baby goat (a kid) woke up a sentry guard during the Crimean War, who alerted the troops and thus thwarted some incursion. Why they have given the goat those gilded horns was not recorded. I'm sure some of my more tuned in Welsh readers can give us more scoop on the goat.There is a friendly pub called The Goat Major not far from the stadium, to which I retired after the game for a well deserved beer. Funny people, the Welsh.
