HAVEN, lvinc,bri in the parishes of Duuottar, KinetT, Arth-

All the Estates adjoin, and emstain 7,851 Imperial
Acres, of which upwards of 5,000 are arable, about 640
in wood, and the remainder in pasture and moor-ground,
a great part of which is improvable. The whole lies con-
tiguous to the town and sea-port of Stonwhaven, to which
there is excellent access by the two great south turnpike
road., which run through the property, and capital com-
mutation roads intersecting the same.
On Dunottar there is a splendid modern Mansion-house,
with extensive walled garden, hot-houses, and excellent
office-houses. The greatest part of the property holds of
the Crown, and affords Six freehold Qualifications for the
Com:ty.
The present rent is vpwards of 5,0001. per annum, and
when the leases expire a very considerable rise will be ob-
tained, particularly on several of the large farms, held oa
life rent leases granted betwen furty and fifty years ago.
There are seventeen Acres of land in the town of Stone-
haven and immediate vicinity, *.iiich may be felled, or let
on building leases, to great advantage.

The Game having been carefully preserved for many
yeors these Estates afford shooting superior, perhaps, to
what is to he had any where in Scotland. Pheasants,
hares, and partridges are in the greatest abundance : there are
plenty of roe-deer ; and snipe, wild-duck, and rabbit
shooting is no where to be surpassed. Fowlsheugh, a
range of grand romantic rocks, where there is excellent
sea •towl shooting, is on the property, and one or twu
capital trouting streams run through the. estate. The teinde
are valued, and nearly exhausted. The land-tax of Du-
nottar and Fallside is redeemed, and the public burdens are
moderate. These Estates are so well connected, and com-
bine so many advantazes, either for investment, or as a
place of residence for a wealthy proprietor, that it is in-
tended to dispose of them in one lot ; but, in the event of a
sale of the whole not being effected soon, the property will
be disposed of in four lots.
