I-I IS magnificent and exceptionally attractive R ESIDENTIAL and SPoRTING T P ROPERTY is situated on the N orth Shore of the D ornoch Firth and I...:. yle of Sutherland. It includes the picture.quc and thriving Village of Bonar Uridgc, from which it extends a distance of nearly 14 miles to within a mi le and a half of the County Town· of Dornoch. The Estate is bounded for the most part by the L ands of the D uKE OF S uT HERLAND, but, as will be seen from the Plan annexed, the E states of Ospisdale, belonging to Mr. GILCHRIST, and of Balblair, the Property of Mrs. SvoNEY H ADWEN, march along a portion of its boundary. I t may be doubted whether any E state in the Highlands can ri val S kibo in extent and vari ety of attractions. The beauty of its situation thc salubrity of its climate- the combinati on of Highland Sport wi th Low Country and ·wild-Fowl Shooting-the River and the L och Fishing-with the magnificent modern R esidence on the site of the· ancient seat of the Bishops of R oss-all contribute to the residential value and interest of a n E sta te. which, with nearly 2o,ooo Acres and ever 200 T enants, possesses substantial attractions beyond those of sport and pleasure.
THE ESTATE
Extends to about 19,448 Acres, of which 2862 Acres are good Arable L and, 12,819 Acres M oor and Pasture, 3240 Acres under W ood , and 527 Acres consist of L ochs, R oads, Sites of H ouses, Gardens, & c. The M easurements arc taken from the Ordnance Survey revised to a recent date. 8 ~artfculars of tbe
SKIBO CASTLE
Is within 10 miles of Bonar Bridge Station, on the Highland Rai lway, and 4 miles from Dornoch, where there are Churches, D octors, T elegraph and Post Office, also first-rate Golfing Links. Bonar Bridge is reached in two . hours from Inverness. On the Property, about 3 miles from the Castle, is the North Pier of the " M eikle Ferry," the south side of which is about 4 miles from the Town of T a in . where there is a Railway Station. This route
SKIUO CAS1'LE ! f'ao~o~ T Vtaw)
is often found convenient, the journey from Inverness to Tain taking one hour and a half, and from T ain to the Ferry, and thence to Skibo, about one hour. Letters are deli vered daily by a Post Runner. A t N ewton Poi nt, 21{ miles from the Castle there is safe anchorag<.: for Yachts; and Coals and other supplies may be landed there at very cheap rates. The R oad from Bonar Bridge to Skibo C astle passes along the face of the richly wooded hills immediately above the Firth through a L and scape of rare beauty and variety. On leaving Bonar Bridge the road goes through cultivated land which slopes towards the Kyle of Sutherland, :£state of $kibo. 9 then for a considera ble distance a F orest of fine Scots Fir and Larch is traversed until the Duke of Sutherland's Estate of Creich is reached, through which the road passes for fully a mile. It then intersects the fl ourishing plantation of Ledmore, just before leaving which will be observed a large Oak. said to be the finest in the N orth of Scotland. Immediately after wards, the picturesque and beautifully wooded Valley of Spinningdale is reached, on the west side of which the bold scarp of Migdale R ock, rising to a height of 700 feet, is a very striking feature. and. with the numerous well kept small Holdings, adds much to the Highland character of the scene. On leaving Spinningdale the road goes through a F orcst of old Firs, it then

BONAR BRIDGE VILLAGE (FitOW hn'UCHAIIIIOII). passes between the Farms of Acharry and F lode, and afterwards intersects the Estate of O spisdale for about three-quarters of a mile.
