Farm Leases in Maryculter and Fetteresso

FARMS AND CROFTS TO LET.

The following POSSESSIONS, belonging to WILLIAM GORDON, Esq. of Fyvie, in the parishes of Maryculter and Fetteresso, are to be let for 19 years, entry immediately, viz.

THE Farm of EASTSIDE, lately possessed by David and George Esson.
That Part of the Farm of WESTSIDE, as lately occupied by Alex. Middleton.
The Croft of GREENS of CRYNOCH, as lately occupied by John McDonald.
AND,
The Two Crofts on ROTHNICK, parish of Fetteresso, as lately occupied by Andrew Leiper.

These Lands are susceptible of much improvement - the soil is in general good; and to industrious tenants the Proprietor will afford suitable encouragement.

Should tenants prefer it, the Farm of Westside will be divided into smaller Possessions.

These lands will be let at the House of Maryculter, on Monday the 3d of February next, at 11 o'clock; and in the mean time, application may be made, for further particulars, to Chas. Chalmers, Advocate in Aberdeen; and Charles Raitt, Overseer at Maryculter, will point out the boundaries.

Tillyskeith, Maryculter

FARMS TO LET.
Parish of Maryculter, and County of Kincardine.

THE East division of the farm of WESTER TILLYSKEITH, or WESTSIDE, as lately occupied by David Esson.

The Farm of EASTER TILLYSKEITH or EASTSIDE, as lately possessed by George Esson.

These farms are immediately adjoining, and may be let either separately, or as one farm.  They contain 100 acres of arable Land, and a great extent of highly improvable pasture.  The soil is strong and early, they have the advantage of easy access by good roads to Aberdeen and Stonehaven, and are distant from the former about nine, and the latter about six miles.  To substantial improving tenants, these farms would be an object, but if preferred, they will be let as one, according to their present divisions.

The Croft in Eastside, at present occupied by William Gordon, is also to be let, and is a good situation for an industrious tenant.

They will be let, for such number of years, as may be agreed on, and entry may be had immediately, or at Martinmas next.

A day will be afterwards fixed for letting; and in the meantime application may be made to Mr Hay of Monkshill, Fyvie, or Charles Chalmers, advocate, Aberdeen, and Charles Raitt, grieve, at Maryculter House, will point out the boundaries.
