LINLITHGOWSIURE.
COMPACT AND BEAUTIFUL. COUNTRY RESIDENCE

FOR SALE.
TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE BARGAIN,
THE LANDS of BRIDGECASTLE and
WOODBANK, with the Mansion-house, Offices,
Garden, &c., lying iu the parish of Torphichen, and county
of Linlithgow.
This property contains Two Hundred Imperial Acres.
The grounds have a south aspect ; are well sheltered with
valuable plantations, nearly forty years old ; are conve-
niently subdivided, substantially enclosed, and intersected
with good roads. The soil is in general a good loam,
adapted for all sorts of crops. The enclosures are well
supplied with water. The lands are susceptible of great
improvement, and limestone is to be had in abundance in
the neighbourhood. The current lease expires with the
three subsequent crops, but, if a purchaser desires, the
lands will be sold disencennbered of any lease. There is
a valuable working Colliery on the estate, with substantial
Houses for tenant and workmen, in a situation which pro-
duces no inconvenience, and the lands abound with iron-
stone, which may also be wrought to great advantage. A
fine trouting stream forms the south and south-east boun-
daries. The old Castle, on the margin, sheltered and
adorned with fine old trees surrounding it and interspersed
through the lawn, was anciently the residence of the Earls
of Linlithgow, and is in complete repair; the apartments
in it are fitted up ss as to afford a comfortable residence to
a genteel family. The Garden is extensive, of a peculiar
character, and singular advantage as to situation and aspect,
and in excellent order. There are Stable, Coach-house,
Pigeon-house, and other Offices attached..
The lands hold of the Crown, and, with the superiority
of others adjoining, the entries and casualties of which
are not taxed, afford a freehold qualification in the county.
In short, a more desirable Estate of its extent is seldom to
be met with. If a purchaser inclines, a considerable part
of the price may restrain in his hands, on the security of
the property, and possession may be had at any timo. Part
of the Furniture of the house may also be had at a valua-
tion. The situation is five miles from the county town of
Linlithgow, two from Bathgate, and about twenty from
the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Further particulars will be -communicated by Mr.
Watson, 19, Melville-street, Edinburgh ; Provost Boyd,
Linlithgow ; or Robert Logan, Esq. banker, No. 2, Char-
lotte.row, Mansion-house, London, all of whom are
Possessed of lithographic plans and measurements of the
property.
N.B.—The value of this Estate will soon be greatly en-
hanced by the completion of the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Rail-road, the line of which, by the recent surveys of
Messrs. Grainger and Miller, and Mr. Stevenson, engineers,
passes through the west end of the property, close to the
colliers' houses and working pits, thereby affording the
utmost facility for bringing the minerals and farm produce
to the Edinburgh and Glasgow markets, and opening an
easy and expeditious communication between the mansion-
house and both these cities.

SCOTLAND.
VALUABLE AND BEAUTIFUL ESTATE IN THE
COUNTY OF FIFE FOR SALE.
- -

THERE WILL BE EXPOSED TO SALE, BY

PUBLIC ROUP,
(Free of Auction Duty,)
Within the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, Edinburgh, on
WEDNEsDAT, the 7th September next, at Two o'clock,
THE ESTATE and LANDS of SCOTS-
CRAIG, comprehending the entire parish of
Ferry-Port-on-Craig, and part of the adjoining parish of
Forgan, in the north-east of Fife, and stretching beauti-
tifully for five miles along the south banks of the Tay,
from immediately opposite Dundee to its confluence with
the sea.

The Estate contains about 3,000 imperial acres, mostly I
arable, and much of the soil of first-rate quality, and is
subdivided into seven farms, (sour of them large,) occu-
pied by respectable tenants, besides a considerable portion,
possessed as acredale land, in the immediate vicinity of the
village of Ferry-Port-on-Craig, and feus in and around
that village, and the lately established village of IMaryton,
adjoining to Newport.
• The farm-houses and offices, as well as the church and
manse of Ferry-Port-on-Craig, are of late erection, and
most substantially finished.
The Estate possesses extensive and valuable Salmon
Fishings in the Tay, and along the coast, which formerly
yielded a very large return. They are let on lease, with
a break on the event of a change in the mode of fishing,
which would produce a great additional rent.
At the thriving village of Ferry-Port-on-Craig th, re is
a commodious Port, to which is attached an exclusive
Right of Ferry across the Tay to Broughty, and up the
Frith to Dundee. This passage is known to be the best
across the Tay, and from the level roads to it on both
sides, and other advantages and privileges, particularly for
cattle, it forms by far the most eligible, as well as direct
line, for the great northern traffic. It has been retained
for some years in the proprietor's own hands, on the old
system of sailing boats, and has yielded a considerable an-
nual return ; but arrangements were recently in view for
establishing a steam-boat, which there can he no doubt
would make the Ferry productive of a handsome revenue.
The Estate is intersected by the turnpike road from
Cupar to Ferry Port-on-Craig, and an excellent new road
skirting along the coast nearly three miles, has lately been
made at a great expense betwixt that village and Maryton.
There is a considerable demand far feus at both of these
villages, and from their neighbourhood to Dundee, and
their own local advantages, this demand may confidently
be expected to increase.
There are on the Estate a large and commodious mo-
dern Mansion-house, beautifully situated among thriving
woods, with a southern exposure, an extensive antique
garden, suitable offices, and a small home farm, the whole
affording a delightful and convenient residence for a gen-
teel family, and the lands and plantations abound with
game of every description.
The present land rents and feu duties amount to about
2,64.0/., but improvements being contemplated under the
existing leases, a considerable rise of rent will take place
on their expiry ; and in the mean thee, there is an yearly
increase from the demand for feus, for granting which
power to resume land is reserved in the leases. The
present rent of the Salmon Fishings is 600/. Under new
arrangements a large revenue will arise from the Ferry.
The Land Tax is redeemed. The stipends, which are
chiefly payable in victual amounted last year to 153/. 11s.
and the school salaries to 321. Is. 10d. The teinds of the
parish of Ferry-Port-on-Craig are exhausted. The Church
is under the patronage of the Crown. The Estate holds
of the Crown, the valuation being 2,497/. 13s. 9d. Scots.
An Estate combining so many important advantages is
very seldom to be met with. A complete survey of it has
recently been made, and lithographed copies of the plan
will in a short time be ready to be communicated to in-
quirers.
There Avill be exposed to SALE at the same tinie,

Oi•T, Lad the INNS and other HOUSES and PRE-
