Newmills | Matthew Nelson was leasing this property from the Macky estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £33 and included a milling complex. | |
Glenveagh Castle | Glenveagh Castle was built c.1867 by John George Adair. The townland of Gartan Mountain, in which the castle is located, was the property of Samuel Marshall at the time of Griffiths Valuation. Following Adair's death in 1885 his wife Cornelia continued to maintain the castle until the early twentieth century. In 1929 it was purchased by Arthur Kingsley Porter, a Yale professor of art who mysteriously disappeared in 1933. It was later owned by Henry McIlhenny of Philadelphia who sold the estate to the Office of Public Works in 1975. It now forms part of Glenveagh National Park. |
