Peremptory.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has great pleasure in an-
nouncing that he is favoured by the Instructions of
the Proprietor to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, at
the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, July 25, at Twelve a
singularly
DELIGHTFUL FREOLD ESTATE,
including THE CASTLE OF TULLICHEWEN,
presenting one of the •
FINEST SPECIMENS IN EUROPE OF PURE GO-
THIC ARCHITECTURE,
WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL PARK, CULTIVATED
LANDS, AND EXTENSIVE WOODS,
Delightfully situate so as to command THE CONFLU-
ENCE Or THE LAKE with the RIVER LEVAN, only
five miles from the
GIGANTIC ROCK and FORTRESS of DUMBARTON,
on the most interesting point of the Clyde, and only twenty
miles from the city of Glasgow.
This splendid property is now, by means of the Birming-
ham and Grand Junction Railways, and the Steam commu-
nication, brought within a short journey of
TWENTY-FIVE HOURS FROM THE GREAT
METROPOLIS.
THE CASTLE STANDS PROUDLY IN A FINELY-
WOODED PARK,
It is the GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE LAKE;
everything on its banks must yield to its proud supremacy,
and the arrangement within is in such classical taste, in such
perfect keeping, the ensemble is so unapproachable, the views
so resplendent, both in distance and splendour, that a rival
need not to be apprehended throughout the Queen's domi-
nions ; it overlooks the most magnificent scenery of Scot-
land, and is altogether commensurate to the legitimate
claims of
SCOTCH AND ENGLISH HOSPITALITY.
A NOBLEMAN OF RANK
will be quite at his ease ; although one of less pretensions,
and who desires only to locate at Tullichewen for a limited
season, will find the great desideratum of its not being in-
conveniently large. The recreation of
SHOOTING AND FISHING
are auxiliaries to an extent that few can parallel.
THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO
FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX IMPERIAL
ACRES.
The cultivated land is underlet at about £6OOO a year, inde-
pendently. of the woods, which are in high condition. The
mansion is suitably furnished. The aid of Gillow and Pow-
biggin, the celebrated artists in decorative furniture, has
been called in to complete it ; and the appendages, in pictures
and articles of taste and vertu, give to it a decided superiority
over all its neighbouring rivals. The offices are fully equal
to the most sanguine expectation. The moors do not merely
find excellent pasturage for the cattle, but ample scope for
those who would recreate in shooting black and red grouse,
woodcocks, and all sorts of game ; and if it be in " the
mind's eye" of a purchaser to add to the delight of shooting
to a still greater extent, " SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES
OF MOORS" are to be purchased close by
LOCH LOMOND,
THE " NE PLUS ULTRA" OF SCOTLAND'S
FAMED LAKES,
within a short mile of the Castle and demesne, will delight
the amateurs in wild fowl shooting; and those inclined to
salmon and trout fishing will find it to their hearts' content
in the River Levan. Such is an imperfect outline of a few
of the prominent attributes to which this famed property
puts in an irresistible claim. The difficult task, however, is
still in abeyance—to pourtray in suitable language
THE SURPASSING BEAUTY OF THE SPLENDID
SCENERY EMBRACING THE LOVELY LOCH
AND LOFTY BEN LOMOND
(the greatest features amid Scotland's never-ending splendour
and variety), is an undertaking to which the humble indivi-
dual intrusted with the conduct of this sale feels most acutely
how inadequate he is to the duty that has been imposed on
him. His chief relief, nay, " his main stay" (if he may he
permitted the observation), ariseses out of a reminiscence
that SCOTIA'S OWN BARD
found himself in the same dilemma. All those who have
not partaken of the good fortune to sojourn amid the beaute-
ous scenery before alluded to, or to behold Loch Lomond
sleeping in the arms of her hundred hills by
THE LIGHT OF A SEPTEMBER MOON, OR
FROM THE LOFTY TOWERS OF THE CASTLE,
on a fine evening to behold the setting sun reflecting in the
distance UPON THE GRAMPIAN HILLS,
will he enchanted by a spectacle that must awaken the most
delightful sensations, and to the contemplative mind, fill
him with awe and reverence to the GREAT MASTER and
CREATOR of all things perfect. To those in such a mood he
would invoke with all humility, yet earnestness, to search for
what the greatest novelist of by-gone days has said of
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL THE
CALEDONIAN LAKES.
The magic touch of his never-erring muse must awaken a
sensation first to see and then to possess
THE GREATEST FEATURE OF THIS VICINITY,
" So wondrous wild, the whole might seem
The scenery of a fairy dream."
Next in our kind remembrance
IS BEN LOMOND,
which will necessarily partake of its due meed of praise.
This Mountain,
LIKE SAUL AMIDST HIS COMPANIONS,
o'ertops all contemporaries. The valley, teeming in wild
fertility, relieved by pa-tures and corn land and varied by
ALL THE SOFTER BEAUTIES OF NATURE,
completes a scene which can only be appreciated by occular
demonstration. The Constituency of
THE BOROUGH OF DUMBARTON
will hail with delight the possessor of this Castle and De-
mesne, and if his principles be worthy of their suffrages, he
will probably
WALK OVER THE COURSE.
To conclude, one half of the purchase-money may remain
on security of the Estates, at four per cent. May be viewed,
with a particular of sale, to be had at the Commercial and
News Rooms and Exchange Coffee Rooms, at Glasgow and
Edinburgh ; the Waterloo, Liverpool ; the Bush, Bristol ;
of Mr. Fisher, Auctioneer, Manchester ; at the Auction
Mart ; and at Mr. George Robin's Offices, Covent Garden,
London, where the three beautiful views of the Castle and
Loch may be seen.
