A CURRENT MISCELLANY. Gleanings From Our Exchanges, Slains Castle, the picturesque mansion which stands on a rugged precipico overlooking the! sea at Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire, has been bought by Charlos Brand and Co., contractore, Dundee. Nino years ago the estáte was sold to Sir John Ellor- man, who never saw it, and in 1923 it was bought by Mr. P. P. Harvey of London. For genera- tione, Blains was the family seat of the Earls of Errol. The pro- sont castle was built in 1886 to replace one a couple of centurips oldor. Rontains of a still older Slains Castle can be soon. It was destroyed in 1594 as a punish- ment of the eighth earl for taking part in the rebellion against King James VI., who visited the spot soo that his orders were carried out,
