FINEST SPECIMENS OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE,

WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL PARK, CULTIVATED LANDS,
AND EXTENSIVE WOODS,
Delightfully situate, within Fire Miles of the
GI3ANTIC ROCK AND FORT 3 OF DUMBARTON,
on the most interesting point of the Clyde, and only Twenty miles
frun the City of Glasgow.
This splendid Property is now, by means of the Binn;ngharn
and Gra.atl Junction Railways and the Steam Communication
brought within a Omit Journey of
TWENTY-FIVE HOURS FROM THE GREAT,
METROPOLIS.
TIM CASTLE STANDS PROUDLY IN A FINELY
WOODED PARK,

and it i 3 one of the leading features of this renowned spot, ore,.
looking:the most magnificent Scenery of Scotlam!, and altogether
comrnelburate to the legit:mate claims of
SCOTCH AND ENGLISH HOSPITALITY.
A NOBLEMAN OF RANK,

will be quite at his case; although one of less pretensiens, and who
desires may to locate at Tullichcwen for a limited season, will find
the grelt desideratum of its not being inconveniently large, with
the recreation ®f

SHOOTING, AND FISHING,
a; auxiliaries, to an extent that few-can parallel.

THE DEME ;NE EXTENDS TO

FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX IMPERIAL ACRES

the cultivated lard is underlet at 5001. a-year, independently of the
woods, which ar;;t in high condition. The mansien is suitably fur-
nished ; the aid of Gillow and Dowbiggin, the celebrated artistes
in decorative furniture, have been ca; 1,41 In to complete it; and
the appendages, in Pictures and articles of taste and vertu, give to
it a decided supremacy over all its neighbouring rivals. The otli.
ces arc fully equal io the most sanguine expectation. The moors
do net merely find excellent pasturage for the cattle, but ample
scope for those who would recreate in shooting black and red grouse,
woodcocks, and all sorts of game.

LOCH LOMOND,
THE "NE PLUS ULTRA" OF SCOTLAND'S FAMED

LAKES,
t ithin a short mile of the Castle and demesne, will delight the
amateurs in wild fowl shooting ; and those inclined to salmon and
trout fishing will find it to their hearts' content in the River Leven.
Such is an imperfeect outline of a few of the prominent attributes
to which this famed property puts in an irresistible claim. The
difficult task, however, is still in abeyance—to pourtray in suitable
language

THE SURPASSING BEAUTY OF THE SPLENDID
SCENERY, EMBRACING THE LOVELY LOCH AND
LOFTY BEN LOMOND,
. _

(the greatest features amid Scotland's never. ending splendour and
variety) is an undertaking to which the humble individual intrusted
with the conduct of this sale feels most acutely how inadequate he
is to the duty that has been imposed upon him ; his chief relief, nay,
" his man stay" (if he may be permitted the obse: vation), arises out
of a reminiscence that

SCOTIA'S OWN BARD
found himself in the same dilemma. All those who have not par-
taken of the good fortune to sojourn amid the b:•auteous scenery
before alluded to, or to behold Loch Lomond sleeping in the arms
of her hundred hills by

THE LIGHT OF A SEPTEMBER MOON,
he would invoke with all humility, yet earnestness, to search for
what the greatest novelist of bygone days has said of

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF
ALL THE CALEDONIAN LAKES.

The magic touch of his never-erring muse must awaken a serration
first to see and then to possess

THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THIS VICINITY,
" So wondrous wild, the whole might seem,
The scenery of a fairy dream."
Next in onr kind remembrance
