THE TWO ISLANDS

EXCEED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND ACRES.
THE SPLENDID EDIFICE
STANDS UPON RASAY,
at the south end of the island ; it is called Kirktown,
from its vicinity to the church ; is of recent elevation,
large, am] commodious, with offices, prolific gardens, and
extensive pleasure grounds, and placed in a most pictu-
resque spot. Within the abode is all the accommodation
a Nobleman can desire.

THE LANDS ARE BEAUTIFULLY TIMBERED
WITH ELM, LARCH, Flit, BEECH, AND ASH,
and to a sporting gentleman the advantages are beyond all
praise.

The domain is adorned by several
LOCHS OF GREAT EXTENT, ABOUNDING IN

.
TROUT,
and the magnificent scenery is varied by

Nuiiiiikkii§ll4slfiLi:iia GLENS.
The very picturesque structure of
BROCH EL CASTLE,
THE ANCIENT SEAT OF MACLEOD OF RASAY,
is one of the leading features on the Estate. This build-
ing covers the whole summit of the bold eminence on
which it stands, its massive walls being continuous with
the precipitous faces of the rock, which are so likened to
the masonry of which it is constructed, that it is difficult
to distinguish between the artificial and natural wall.
Here the proud outlines of the cliffs decline toward the
west by a general declivity, terminating in low shores, in-
termixed with grassy slopes.
TH14.3 EAST SIDE OF RASAY

is covered with scattered Farms, each surrounded with its
cultivated tract, and the whole diversified by towering
eminences. On one side scenes of considerable grandeur
are presented, marked by great breadth and simplicity of
manner and by powerful effect, at times assuming an ar-
tificial character in their architectural regularity, rising
like majestic towers above the deep dark sea, that washes
their bases. The houses perched on these lofty summits
seem more like the retreats of the birds that hover round
them, than the habitations of human beings, the admiring
eye from below scarcely distinguishing them, far less their
inhabitants.

GROUSE- AND BLACKCOCK IN COUNTLESS

NUM BERS,
and other game is equally abundant. The land capable at
very little expense of being cultivated amounts, with that
which is in cultivation, to
TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED ACRES,
and that which is in cultivation could be made to produce
double the quantity of crop at present raised, by a little
attention to draining and manuring, and the quantity in
cultivation may soon be increased to

FIVE THOUSAND ACRES.
It reqdres only the aid of industrious agriculturists to
render the entire island equally profitable.
THE ISLANDS ABOUND IN GRANITE
of a very superior quality. The rock lies open, and conld
be easily quarried and conveniently shipped. The Island
is composed of a very superior Freestone, nearly three
miles in length, and at the top of the rock lie
TIN 0 SEAMS OF IRONSTONE,
extending over

A SURFACE OF THREE SQUARE MILES :
also plenty of fine Blue Limestone, and an abundance of
Slate of a very superior quality. The revenue received
and derivable, under a healthy course of management,
will he most considerable, and rendered still more certain
if Mr. Robins is so fortunate as to come in contact with a
Nobleman

GIFTED WITH A BRAIN FARM,
who has the good taste for improvement, and the tact to
admire the beauteous scenery which is developed at every
turn, and the romantic country which encircles the two
islands. Such a gentleman, with a suitable independence,
and a taste for everything that is unsurpassable in Europe,
will do well to give to this property his immediate time and
attention.

Particulars, with Plans, and a View of the Mansion,
may be had, twenty-one days before the Sale, at the Auc-
tion Mart; and at Mr. George Robin's Offices, Covent-
garden.

The printed Particulars of the Sale will enter much
more minutely into detail, and give a faithful report of its
present and its perspective advantages. To a sporting
man of independence, there is nothing to approach these
Islands.
