When I got into the garden, I saw the gardener in a camouflage suit and with a net over his head, after which I admired the flowers and stood still, I immediately realized why.
Suddenly flocks of mosquitoes buzzed around my head, here in the garden there was no wind.

Surrounded by untamed nature with its rugged cliffs and stately mountains, the neatly structured garden of Glenveagh Castle is a stark contrast. Here you can admire various plants and a variety of flowering plants while strolling through the gardens with their inner courtyards.

Captain John George Adair had Glenveagh Castle built from 1870 to 1873. It is located in what is now Glenveagh National Park. The house is built in the Scottish Baronial style and consists of a four storey rectangular keep surrounded by a garden. The building sits on a 165.4 sq km estate of hills, lakes, valleys and forests that are also home to a herd of red deer. The Gaelic name Gleann Bheatha means 'valley of the birch'. Exhibitions and films about the park can be seen in the visitor center of the national park. The facilities are accessible to the disabled.
