to the piece of ground in question, extending to about 238 or 241 acres,
being the southmost portion of the ground known as Craig-an-Earra,
and that Mr. Tennent, as proprietor of Easter Tempar, forming part
of the domain of Dunalastair, has no right of property in the said
ground, but only a right of pasturage over the same, and that conse-
quently Sir Donald Currie has the sole and exclusive right of shooting
over the said piece of ground and decerns.
(Signed) J. B. Balfour.
The right of pasturage which belonged to Mr. Tennent
was afterwards transferred by him to Sir Donald Currie
by friendly arrangement.
The eastern slope of Craig-an-Earra, extending to 96
acres, and known as the Shiellings of Comrie, was the pro-
perty of the Marquis of Breadalbane, but by agreement
with Sir Donald Currie, this ground was purchased for the
Glenlyon estate and added to it.
With a view to the compactness of the two estates of
Garth and Glenlyon respectively, Sir Donald Currie divided
the two properties by distinct boundaries, transferring to
Garth the Glenlyon commonty rights on the moorland,
formerly held between the two estates, and placing Rynacra
commonty ground within the Garth property. The lands
of Easter Drumchary and Nether Blairish which formed
detached portions of Glenlyon, fitted in more naturally
as parts of Garth, and were consequently taken from
the one estate and added to the other. The land ac-
quired from Lassintullich and Breadalbane by purchase,
as well as that of Craig-an-Earra referred to in the
