268 Valuation of the Woodlands 



Park and Belts around the old mansion, No. 4. and 5. on the 

 plan ; containing 2'613 Scotch acres, with some rows and 

 scattered timber on the arable land, about 50 years old. 



[Table of contents, &c., as before.] 

 These consist of belts and scattered trees on the lawn, chiefly 



beech, all in a thriving state, which, when full grown, will become 



fine timber. There are a few thriving Spanish chestnuts north 



from the old steading. 



Park around the mansion-house, containing timber newly cut 

 down when the survey was being made. 

 [Table, &c., as before.] 

 These consist of thinnings, chiefly for the new steading, with 

 some hard wood requiring to be taken out. 



Wood in field north side of Luckart's Howe, containing 2*348 



Scotch acres. 

 [Table, &c., as before.] 



The greater part of the larch, &c., has been already cut away. 

 The oaks are thriving, and well adapted for forming coppice, 

 when the field comes to be replanted. 



Wood on Machany side, north of Easterton and Millness, con- 

 taining 2-764 Scotch acres. 

 [Table, &c., as before.] 

 This is a very thriving young wood, the larch being generally 

 fit for stobs and paling rafters. It should all be cut down, there 

 being a sufficiency of oak, which would become a fine copse. 



Scattered timber and hedgerows on the north side of Mains, 



Easterton, and Milhiess. 



[Table, &c., as before.] 



These consist chiefly of hedgerows, generally small-sized, but 



thriving. There are a few scattered trees of older date, chiefly 



plane, and of fair quality. 



Wood in No. 8. of Drummawhance. The field on the south of 

 the public road at Luckart's Howe, containing 1'042 Scotch 

 acres. 



[Table, &c., as before.] 



The older part of this is now mostly cut down. The belt 

 along the road side is thriving, and fit for stobs, &c. 



Clump in the corner of Nos. 6. and 7., with hedgerows in these 



fields. 

 [Table, &c., as before.] 



These are chiefly hedgerows, the last clump being nearly cut 

 out. The oaks along the road side are very good for their age.
