The Farms and Crofts of Clunie and Knockorth, with the valuable Granite Quarries adjoining, are distant only from ten to eleven miles from the sea-ports of Banff and Macduff, where there is a ready market for Grain, and where abundance of Lime may always be had.  The turnpike road from Banff to Marnoch and Huntly, runs along the west side of these properties, at the distance of a mile; and there are good commutation roads connecting them with the turnpike.

The Estate in general is of a natural good soil, and exceedingly well situated as to Cattle Marks.

It is intended to Let all the above Farms and Crofts, without exception, at Carnousie-House, on Monday the 25th day of May next, previous to which day offers, in writing only, will be received by the Proprietor, at Carnousie-House, or by Sir Geo. Abercromby, Bart. at Forglen-House.

Entry will be given at Whitsunday first, to the Crofts possessed by George Low, and the heirs of John Bremner, to any tenant who may take these; but to the whole of the others, entry will only be given to the present tenants, if preferred, at Whitsunday first -- or to the new tenants at Whitsunday 1819.

Every encouragement will be given to industrious and improving tenants; and James Dunbar, at Carnousie, will attend every Tuesday from 10 to 2 o'clock afternoon, at James Leslie's, Hillockhead of Clunie, and point out the marches of the Farms, &c.  both on Clunie and Knockorth - and at Carnousie every Thursday, till the day of Letting.

For further particulars, apply to Patrick Duff, Esq. of Carnousie, the Proprietor, -- Sir George Abercrombie, Bart. of Birkenbog and Forglen, -- Patrick Rose, Sheriff-Clerk of Banff, -- or to the above James Dunbar.
