ROMANTIC PROPERTY NEAR THE RIVER
CLYDE.

To be exposed to SALE, by Public Auction, on WEnNEs-
DAY, July 2, 1628,
AT THE UPSET PRICE OF 10,000!.,
THE ESTATE of HALCR.AIG, in the
Upper Ward of the county of Lanark.
Halcraig consists of about 14,3 acres of ground, great
part of it of excellent quality, and the whole of it laid out
in fields of convenient size for occupation, interspered in the
most tasteful manner with belts, clumps, and standard wood,
comprising about 25 acres.
The house, offices, and gardens are very romantically
situated on the top of the precipitous, well-wooded banks
of one of those deep ravines so peculiarly prevalent on the
northern bank of the river Clyde, from which Halcraig is
only distant about a mile, having in view the grounds and
plantations of Mauldslie Castle and Milton ; and, as two of
the properties, forming the boundary with Halcraig, are at
present for sale, on neither of which are there suitable re-
sidences, it is thought to be a highly favourable opportu-
nity for a purchaser acquiring a considerable property,
without the expence of building a house and offices ; for,
as the late proprietor of Halcraig bestowed an uncommon
degree of attention upon the interior arrangements of the
house, it is believed, it will be found equal to the accom-
modation of a large establishment, and, at the same time,
so well combined as not to be beyond the occupation of a
moderate one.
The garden and orchards are well sheltered, and, being
of a soil and in a country admirably adapted for fruit, the
orchard system may be most profitably and considerably
extended.
Halcraig is 17 miles from Glasgow, eight from Hamil-
ton, five from Lanark, and one from the populous village
of Carluke. Coal is within a mile, and lime within three
miles. The roads in all directions are admirable, coaches
to and from Glasgow and Liverpool pass daily, within a
mile of the house. The Lanarkshire fox-hounds frequently
hunt the covers in the neighbourhood, and a pack of
harriers are kept within three miles.
The manse and offices are in the best state of repi.ir,
and the public burdens moderate, so that, on the whole, it
is believed that a more compact property, having within
itself so many advantages and the opportunity of being ex-
tended, should a purchaser wish it, is seldom offered to the
public.
The Estate will be shown by the Overseer at Halcraig
Offices, and any further particulars required may be known
on appli( ation to Messrs. Lockhart and Swan, W.S. 53,
York Place, Edinburgh.
