Erskine

At Erskine, a house in the church Gothic style, and on a most extensive scale, has been set down in a remarkably fine situation on the Clyde. We doubt if it will ever be occupied, as the day for building such houses, either in Scotland or England, is decidedly gone by. The kitchen-garden here is new, and one of the best which we have any where seen. The gardener, Mr. Shiells, has received more prizes for superior fruits and culinary productions than any gardener in the west of Scotland. Here, as at most of the mansion residences above enumerated, the fruit is sold.
