In the Highlands of Donegal, at the heart of Glenveagh National Park, all 40 square miles of it, lies Lough Veagh, beside which, on a rocky promontory, Glenveagh Castle was built, between 1870 and 1873, for John George Adair, an Irishman of Scottish descent, to the design of his cousin, John Townsend Trench. Together with his American wife, Adair planted Austrian and Scots pine to shield the castle from the prevailing winds. Mrs Adair, who was to survive her husband by many years, until her own death in 1921, laid out the ‘Pleasure Grounds’. Latterly, these were greatly extended and embellished by Henry P. McIlhenny (1910-86), of Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, President of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, who, for over forty years, from 1937 to 1983, deployed his artistic sense and knowledge of plants, augmented by the expert advice of, successively, James Russell and Lanning Roper, thereby creating a series of gardens, among the most celebrated in Ireland, justly appreciated by the circle of cultivated friends to whom he played host every summer.
