For particulars, apply to John Anderson, Factor at Strichen, to whom offers may be give in, to the 1st of September next.

The Possessions will be shewn by James Horne, the Ground-Officer.

James Horn, Ground Officer, will show the boundaries.

Application for farther information may be made, and offers given in, to John Anderson, Factor at Strichen.
