On Dovern-side to be Let; and,

ROAD CONTRACTORS AND BLACKSMITH

WANTED.

To bet Let, and entered to at Whitsunday first, for such number of years as may be agreed on,

THE FARMS of OLDTOWN of NETHERDALE, as presently possessed by James Adam and Alex. Andrew, consisting of about 250 Scots Acres; And COBLE-HOUSE and BOAT, possessed by GEORGE RUDDOCH, consisting of 31 Scots Acres or thereby, lying in the parish of Marnoch, and County of Banff.

These Farms are contiguous, and will be Let together or separately.  They are beautifully situated on the Banks of the Dovern, of an early fertile soil, in all respects well accommodated, having Lime at a reasonable distance, near Markets, and easy access to the Turnpike Roads leading to Banff, Macduff, and Portsoy, and are an object deserving the attention of tenants of capital and enterprise, to whom liberal encouragement will be given.

There are also several commodious CROFTS to be Let, of from Two to Three Acres each, of good Land, very suitable for Tradesmen or Day-Labourers - and for one of these, a BLACKSMITH is Wanted, who, if a capable hand, will find the situation desirable.

Also a small CROFT on the Estate of Muirs of Fyvie, which will be shewn by James Gordon, Ground-Officer there.

The whole will be Let at Netherdale-House on Wednesday the 25th day of November curt. at 10 o'clock forenoon, until which day offers in writing will be received by the proprietor there.

AND

The same day and place, ESTIMATES will be taken in, and agreements entered into, with Contractors willing to execute about two miles and something odds, of Commutation Road, from the old Road near Auchenhamper thro' the Farms of Auchinina and the Plantation of Loghill, to Kirkton of Inverkeithny, to be divided into Lots.

The Farms, Crofts, and boundaries, with the line of Road, plan and specifications, will be pointed out, and shewn of John Brown, Overseer at Netherdale, or on the day of Let.
