ARNHALL, comprehending the BARONY
ARNHALL, with the MANSION-HOUSE and
GROUNDS called the BURN, and the LANDS of

WOODTOWNS, all lying within the parish of Fetter.
cairn. anti county of Kincardine.

This estate extends to upwards of 3 000 acres Scotch
measurement, or 3,800 acres imperial, of which about
1,000 imperial acres are under thriving wood, the greater
part of which is nearly fifty years old. The remaining
1 ands are nearly all arable. Part of these, surroundinp
the mansion-house, have hitherto been in the natural
occupation of the Proprietor, and the remainder are let
out to tenants in possession of convenient and suitable ex-
tent, on lea.es of which there are in general from eight to ten
years unexpired. The arable lands are in a high state of im-
provement, are properly enclosed and subdivided by suffi-
cient stone walls, or thriving hedge rows, and are pro
vided with commodious farm steadings and offices, which
are all in a good state of repair. Several of the farms
are furnished with thrashing mills, moved by water. The
tenants are thriving and industrious, and the rents are
punctually paid. The greater part of the estate holds of
the Crown, and the public burdens are moderate.

The Mansion-house of the Burn is commodious and
extensive. It contains a spacious entrance hall and stair
case, dining-room, two drawing-rooms, breakfast•room,
an elegant library room, a billiard room, fifteen bed-
rooms, several of which have dressing-rooms at-
tached to them, and a number of other apartments,
including a kitchen and arrangements of a superior de-
scription for servants. The offices comprehend stables,
coach-houses, washing •house, laundry, dairy, granary,
and extensive cellarage for every purpose, with an excel-
lent ice-house. The house, officea, porters' lodge, gates,
garden walls, and other buildings, are all in the best
order. The gardens are large and productive, containing
a conservatory, grape-houses, peach houses, &c. There
is considerable extent of shrubbery near the house and
garden, finely intersected by gravel walks.
The Estate is delightfully situated at the foot and on
the South side of the Grampians, being sheltered in a
great measure by the North and East winds by that high
range of kills. The situation was chosen by the late Loid
Adam Gordon, who, in forming the place, availed himself
of its eminent natural beauties with great taste and judg-
ment ; and many improvements and embellishments have
been added by the subsequent proprietors. Upon the ro-
mantic banks of the deep, rocky, and rapid North Esk the
Estate possesses several miles of varied and picturesque
scenery, not surpassed by any in the kingdom. It is dis-
tant seven miles from the Town of Brechin, twelve from
Montrose, and three from the Village of Fettercairn, to
which there is a daily post. Coaches from Edinburgh to
Aberdeen pass daily about five miles from the house- The
Estate abounds with hares, partridges, pheasants, and
other game ; and roe•deer are found in the woods. It
possesses a right of property, in common with another
Estate, in an extensive tract of uncultivated hill ground,
on which grouse is abundant. There is good salmon and
trout fi-hing in the North Esk. A saw-mill, mot,. dby
water, has bee❑ constructed on the Estate ; and there is
a constant demand for the thinnings of the woods, from
which a considerable and increasing revenue h a for some
years been derived. The Estate will be exposed to sale at
such a price as will enable a purchaser to draw a good re-
turn for the capital to be invested.
The mansion house, offices, and gardens will be let for
the present season. The house is fully furnished, in an
elegant and substantial manner.
