THE ESTATE of CLANRANALD, lying in the Parish of South Uist and County of Inverness, consisting of the whole Island of Benbecula, and the greater part of the Island of South Uist, with the small Isles adjacent. This fine Property extends about thirty-five miles in length from north to south, and eight miles breadth from east to west, containing 56,277 Scotch, or 70,746 Imperial Acres of Land,__ whereof 14,537 Scotch, or 18,274 Imperial acres are Arable__ 3043 Scotch, or 3826 Imperial acres Low Pasture__ and 33,696 Scotch, or 48,646 Imperial acres Hill Pasture, or thereby. The Arable Land is of excellent quality, yielding Oats, Barley, and Green Crops of the best description. There is an inexhaustible quantity of Shell, Sand, and Sea-weed (independent of the weed used for Kelp) on the shores of the Estate, which not only supply abundant Manure for the lands already arable, but afford the means to the tenants of bringing many hundred acres of Waste Land annually into cultivation. The Pasture is equal in quality to any in the West Highlands. The Cattle reared on the Estate are well known in the South-country Markets, and have long commanded the highest prices given in the west of Inverness-shire. The Estate abounds in excellent Harbours, to which there are good Roads from the interior, and the Public Roads through the islands, as well as the Farm Roads, are in the best condition. Herrings annually frequent the numerous Lochs intersecting the property, and the Cod and Ling Fishery may be carried on to any extent, the Fishing-banks being quite contiguous. Deer are to be found on the hills of South Uist, and the lands abound with Grouse and other kinds of Game, with all sorts of Water-fowl. There are Trout in the fresh-water lakes, and abundance of Salmon in the rivers.

A Packet sails from Lochmaddy in North Uist to Dunvegan in Skye; and there is an easy and constant communication with the Clyde and Liverpool at all seasons of the year, by means of Steam-boats and Coasting-vessels.

The Land-rental and Feu-duties of the Estate for the term from Whit 1835 to Whit 1836 were £4531-6-4½, which may be greatly augmented by the cultivation of Waste Land, and the partial introduction of Sheep-farming__ a very extensive tract of Hill-ground, well adapted for Sheep-grazing, being at present in a great measure unproductive in consequence of a right of ..... lawful or common claim upon Mr. R.
