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

THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO

FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX IMPERIAL ACRES;
the cultivated land is underlet at 500/. a-year, independently of the
woods, which are in high condition. The mansion is suitably fur-
nished; the aid of Gillow and Dowbiggin, the celebrated artistes
in decorative furniture, having been called in to complete it; and
the appendages, in Pictures and articles in taste and vertu, give to
it a decided supremacy over all its neighbouring rivals. The
offices are fully 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.

LOCH LOMOND,

TIIE "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 irresistable claim. The
difficult task, however, is still in abeyance—to pourtray in suitable
language
THE SURPASSING BEAUTY OF THE SPLENDID
SCENERY IN THE DISTANCE; EMBRACING LOCH
LOMOND 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 if this sale feels most acutely how
inadequate he is to the duty that has been imposed on him ;
his chief relief, nay, " his main stay" (if he may be permitted the
observation), arises out of a reminiscence that even one of our
highly gifted poets, Sir Walter Scott, found himself in the same di-
lemma. All those who have not partaken of the good fortune to
sojourn amid the beauteous 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 novellist of by-gone times has said of
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF
ALL THE CALEDONIAN LAKES.
The magic touch of his never-erring muse must awaken a sensation
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 our kind remembrancei

IS BEN LOMOND,
which will necessarily partake of its due weed of praise, although
twelve miles a-part.

This mountain,

LIKE SAUL AMIDST HIS COMPANIONS,
o'ertops all its contemporaries. The valley, teeming in wild fertility,
relieved by pastures and corn land, and varied by
ALL THE SOFTER BEAUTIES OF NATURE,
completes a scene which can only be appreciated by ocular demon-
stration. To conclude, it is desirable to make known that this in-
valuable property is offered for sale at a price to give ample return
of interest upon the capital, and one half of the purchase-money
may remain on security of the Estates, at four per cent. There
are three beautiful Views of the Castle and Lake to be seen at
Mr. Robins's Offices.
