DESIRABLE ESTATE in PERTHSHIRE, with a FREE-
HOLD QUALIFICATION, for SALE.
THERE WILL BE SOLD, .
Within the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, Edinburgh, on a day
to be afterwards named, if not previously disposed of by Pri-
vate Bargain,
THE LANDS and ESTATE of FINCASTLE,
with or without the FREEHOLD QUALIFICATION
belonging thereto. As also, the LANDS and GRAZINGS of
RICHAEL and GLASCHORRIE.
I. The LANDS of FINCASTLE ,are situated in Athole.—
They consist of upwards of 460 acres of good arable land, and
about 2600 acres of excellent green, woodland, and bill pasture,
These pasture lands are well watered, and are esteemed of a
very superior quality for the rearing and feeding of cattle. -A
considerable portion of them is susceptible of being brought into
high cultivation, for there is great abundance of shell marl very
near the ontfaee, and an inexhaustible quantity oflimestone acces-
sible to every part of the estate, and of peat moss and wood for
burning the same. The lands are subdivided with stone dikes,
and a stierstintial boundary fence of the same description almost
surrounds the whole property.
• There are also several valuable plantations of oak, birch, DA,
Rue., and the props ietor has recently planted upwards of 70 acres
of hill land with larch and spruce fir, which is well inclosed, and
remarkably thriving.
The grounds are well stocked with game of every description.—
There is a right of fishing in the river Tummel, which abounds
with pike and trout, the latter of a very superior quality. There
is also a right to a third of the salmon fishing in the Linn or Falls
of Tummel. At one of the falls there is an excellent meal mill,
with a command of water, and fall sufficient for turning mach' •
nery to any extent. The water has never been known to freeze
or run short.

The Mansion-house, to which a suitable garden is attached, is
fit for the accommodation of a large family, and is surrounded
with fine old trees, part of which farms an avenue of great beauty.
The offices are substantial, and in good repair.
The road to the Mansion-house of the property is good, and
diverges from the great north road to the celebrated Pass of Killi-
cranky, the scenery of which and of the property itself is of the
most picturesque description, particularly that of Loch Tummel,
which, from its `many peculiar beauties, is much admired and re-
sorted to by strangers. The Highland coach passes daily at the
Junction of the roads.

11. The LANDS and GR A ZINGS of RICIIAEL and GLAS-
CIiORRIE are situated in the forest of Atbole, and comprehend
some arable and about 5,000 acres of hill ground. These gra-
zings form an excellent sheep walk, and abound with grouse,
ptarmigan, and every description of hill game, and are surroun-
ded on all sides by the Duke of Athole and Gordon's preserved
grounds. The proprietor has recently built and furnished a very
complete substantial Shooting Lodge, with stable and dog kennel,
which is of easy access, the great north road running within a
mile and a half of it. The Lodge, with the Shootings, have
been let for several years past at 150/. per annum.
The rental of the whole estate is 1,22 e/. 15s. 4d.—The public
burdens are trifling.
An estate combining so many advantages, and affording every
requisite that a complete Highland property can possibly furnish,
is seldom in the market, or to be met with.
For further particulars apply to Patrick Stewart, Esq. at
Fletcherfield, near Forfar; Captain James Stewart, at Kinvaid,
near Perth ; Captain Gilbert Stewart, at Allean, who will give
directions for shewing the property; James and Alexander
Macdonell, writers to the signet, 10, Broughton Place, in whose
hands are the title-deeds ; onto William Wedderapoon, writer in
Perth ; either of whom will receive offers for a private bargain.
Edinburgh, 6th January, 1827.
