in the County, and Right of Salmon Fishing in the River
Tumrnell ; and
The LANDS and GRAZINGS of RICHAEL and
GLASCHORRIE, in the Forest of Atholl, and privi-
lege of killing game thereon.
I. The LANDS of FINCASTLE, as more particularly
described in the memorial and abstract of the prepared
state in the process of sale, are situated in one of the mast
beautiful districts of Atholl. They extend to 456 Scottish
or 575 Imperial Acres or thereby, of Arable Land, and
about 2,734 Scottish or 3,443 Imperial Acres of green
woodland and hill pasture.
The arable land is all inclosed and of very superior
quality. The pasture grounds are well watered, much
esteemed for the rearing and feeding of cattle, and a con-
siderable portion susceptible of high cultivation, there being
abundance of shell-marle near the surface ; limestone inex-
haustible, and peat muss and wood for burning the same
in great quantities. The whole are subdivided with sub-
stantial stone dykes, and a ring fence of the same descrip-
tion surrounds the greater part of the property.

There are several valuable plantations of oak, birch, ash,
&c. upon the property, and there were recently planted
with larch and spruce fir about 30 acres of hill land, which
is well enclosed and thriving.
The grounds are stocked with game of every descrip-
tion. There is attached to the property a right to the
salmon fishing in the Linn or Falls of Tummell, and the
other fishing% on this river and on Lochvack are of the
best kind. There is a good meal mill at one of the falls,
with an uninterrupted command of water, sufficient fur
turning machinery to any extent.
The Mansion-house, to which there is a suitable gar-
den, is large and commodious, and in a habitable state.
It is surrounded with fine old trees; and an avenue of
great beauty forms one of the approaches to the house.
The offices are substantial and in good repair.
There is a good road to the Mansion-house, which se-
parates from the Great North Road at the Pass of Killi-
kranky. The scenery of this celebrated Pass, and of the
property under sale, is of the most picturesque descrip-
tion, particularly that of Loch Tummell, which, from its
many peculiar beauties, is much admired and resorted to
by strangers. The Highland coach passes daily at the
junction of the roads.
11. The Lands and Gratings of RICHAEL and GLAS-
CHORRIE are situated in the Forest of Atholl, and com-
prehend some acres of arable and about 5,000 Scottish or
6,305 Imperial acres of hill ground. These gratings form
an excellent sheep walk, and being surrounded by the pre-
served grounds of the Dukes of Atholl and Gordon, they
consequently abound with grouse, ptarmigan, and every
description of hill game. There was recently built a very
complete shooting lodge, with stable and dog-kennel. The
lodge is furnished, and of easy access, the Groat North
Road passing within kmile and a-half of it. The average
yearly rent of the lodge aad shootings for the last six seasons
was 1211.

The Estate possesses every requisite which a complete
Highland property can furnish, and, along with some ad-
ditional superiority, also under sale, affords a Freehold
Qualification in the county.
The teinds are valued, but not exhay.sted. The minis-
ter's stipends, and other public and parochial burdens,
amount to 28/. Bs. 3id.
Two most respectable Land Surveyors have estimated,
and deponed, that the property, ie. let on leases of nine-
teen years, is worth of yearly rent, .£1,453 2 7
