The above farms are situated close upon the sea-coast of the Murray Frith, in the county of Aberdeen.  There is abundance of excellent shell-sand in the neighbourhood, which, at a small expence, can be landed on the estate from boats; and as it operates powerfully as a manure, improvements can be extensively and rapidly made.  The soil, in general, is an easy wrought loam, remarkably well adapted for the turnip husbandry, as well as for wheat and every other species of grain.

For farther particulars, apply to Mr. John Cumming, at Ellon Castle; or Mr Andrew Davidson, advocate in Aberdeen; to either of whom offers may be made in writing; and John Bruce, Ground Officer at Pennan, will shew the boundaries of the Farms.
