LANDS IN ABERDEENSHIRE.
TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE BARGAIN,

THE LANDS and BARONY of STRI-
CHEN, and others, comprehending the who!e of
the parish of Strichen (excepting about Fifteen Acres)
an') a part of the adjoining parishes of Fraserbuigh and
Old Deer.

The Estate contains about 8,800 Scotch Acres, of
which, about 5,400 are Arable, and a considerable part
of the remainder is capable of being made so, with great
advantage.

There is an elegant Mansion-house lately built, sur-
rounded with well-grown timber, and suitable offices of
every description, all in the most complete repair, together
with pleasure ground and gardens, fit for the accommoda-
tion of a family of distinction. These, together with the
Home Farm, extending to about 207 Scotch Acres arable,
well sheltered and surrounded with plantations, and track
of muirland moss and pasture, extending to between 1,700
and 1,800 Scotch Acres, reserved for a game preserve, are
in the posse,sion of the Proprietor.
The whole of this Estate having come out of lease in
1823, at a time when farm produce was lower than for
many years before or since, it was let on improving leases
for a short term ; and since that time various beneficial
improvements have been made by the Proprietor at the
expense of several thousand pounds, by means of which
the rents will be greatly increased as soon as the leases ex-
pire. The present rent (exclusive of the house, gardens,
and offices, and also the timber) is about 3,6001. sterling
free, after deduction of the public burdens ; but, upon the
most moderate computation, there will be a rise at the
termination of the existing leases of at least 7001. per
annum. Almost the whole of these leases expire in five
or nine years hence, and so far as new leases have been
granted since the general set in 1823, the expected rises
have been uniformly obtained. The tenants are a very in-
dustrious class, and pay their rents with great punctuality.
The thriving village of Strichen belongs to this Estate,
and there are near 307 Scotch Acres under plantation, of
different ages ; also the Patronage of the Parish Church of
Strichen, which it is proposed to include in the sale.
There is good Grouse Shooting on the Hill of Mor-
mond, belonging to the Estate, and the greatest abundance
of Hares, Partridges, and other Game on the lower ground.
The Lands hold of the Crown, and the valued rent is
about 2,0551. Scots. _

The teinds are valued and exhausted, except those in
the parish of Old Deer. The Church, Marne, and School-
house, are in complete repair.
For farther particulars application may be made to the
proprietor, Thomas Alex. Fraser, Esq., of Lovat, at
Beaufort Castle, by Inverness; John Macpherson, Esq.,
his factor at Beauly, by Inverness; John Anderson, Esq.,
his factor at Strichen, by Aberdeen; Andrew 111Trae,
Esq., 21, Manchester-buildings, Westminster; Messrs.
Adam and Anderson, Advocates in Aberdeen; or to John
Morison, W.S., in whose hands are the title deeds.
