Glenveagh Castle
Glenveagh Castle is a late 19th-century castellated mansion on an estate in County Donegal, Ireland, built in the Scottish baronial style. Erected between 1867 and 1873 for Captain John George Adair, it sits within extensive gardens and a landscape of lakes, glens and woods and later became part of Glenveagh National Park.
