Farm lease at Goval

CAPITAL FARM,
To be Let for Twenty-seven Years,

THE United FARMS of GOVEL and PLACE of GOVEL (or if more agreeable, they will be divided), as now occupied by William Valentine, containing 320 Scots Acres of which 130 are presently under proper cultivation, finely situated on the northern bank of the River Don, within 6 miles of Aberdeen by the turnpike road, and in the immediate vicinity of the Canal Basin at Bridge of Dyce.

To a Gentleman farmer, the Place of Govel would form a desirable residence; whilst the Houses upon Govel, in the centre of the farm, might accommodate his labourers and cattle. -- The uncultivated grounds, which are connected, could be brought into tillage at a moderate expence.  The North and South mail Coaches pass daily by the turnpike.

Entry to the Place of Govel at Martinmas 1819; and to the others at the Whitsunday thereafter.

Offers in writing to be given in, on or before the 1st September next, to General Gordon Cuming Skene at Parkhill, by Aberdeen; or to James Forbes, Kirkhill, Oldmeldrum, his Factor.  James Gray, Ground-officer at Lochend, will point out the boundaries.  The set to take place at the House of Parkhill, on Tuesday 2d Sept. first, by 1 o'clock P.M.
