ed of by Private Contrail,

G LASS, in the County of Inverness, the property of
Wm. Chisholm, of Chisholm, Esq.
• The superior quality of the Timber produced in. these
Woods to any other in Scotland los been indisputably proved
and aeknowledged during the experience ut more than half a
century. The demand for it in the surrounding country is
very 'great, and the safe and cheap means of conveyance by
the Rivers to the Sea, near Inverness, must render the pur-
chase of theSe Woods for exportation very desirable. From
the circumstance of their growing in a.pretty populous coun-
try, whereplenty of Hands can be got at all seasons, the ope-
rations of the ManufaCturer will be greatly facilitated, and
he may be accommodated with GraSs for his Horses in the
Woods by making a small Consideration to.the facksmen.—
I n short, there is not a Natural Fir Wood in' Scotland more
accessible, nor better calculated for manufadute, than that
of Strathglass.

By a Lae measurement of the-size of the Trees, exclusive
OT one Distrial not yet measured, there appears to be above
so,ooo Trees measuring tram 24 to 3o loch. in circumference;
45,000 • 3o to 4o Ditto ;
45,000 - - 4o up to iz Feet Ditto.
And there are from Two toThree Hundred Thouzand Grow-
ing rees of the most thriving appearance under the above
measurement.
For further, particulars application may be made to the
z Proprietor, at rchless Castle,,near Beauly, N. B. ; to Wm.
Mackenzie, Esq. W. S. Edinburgh ; or to Mr. Arthur
Cooper, Writer, in Inverness. • ,
