SCOTCH AND ENGLISH HOSPITALITY.
A NOBLEMAN OF RANK,
will be quite et his ease ; although one of less pretensions, and who
desires only to locate at Tullichewen for a limited season, will find
the great desideratum of its not being inconveniently large. The
recreation of

SHOOTING, AND FISHING,
are auxiliaries, to an extent that few can parallel.

THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO

FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX INiPERIAL ACRES;
the cultivated land is underlet at about 6001. a-year, independently
of the woods, which are in high condition. The mansion is suitably
furnished ; the aid of Gillow and Dowbiggin, the celebrated artistes
in decorative furniture, has been called in to complete it; and
the appendages, in Pictures and articles of taste and vertu, give to
it a decided superiority over all its neighbouring rivals. The offi-
ces are equal to the most sanguine expectation. The moors
do not 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; and if it be in " the mind's eye"
of a purchaser to add to the delight of shooting to a still greater
extent, " SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF MOORS are to
be purchased close by.

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

LAKES,

Within 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 imperfect 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 main stay" (if he may be permitted the observation), 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 beauteous scenery
before alluded to, or to behold Loeh Lomond sleeping in the arms
of her hundred hills by
