AMOS CRUICKSHANK OF SITTYTON. 603 



stock bull at Sittyton for a number of years, 

 leaving a most valuable progeny, including 

 such bulls as Cumberland (46144), Athabasca 

 (47359) and Shapinshay (45581). Lord of the 

 Isles was sold to Bruce of Inverquhomery, but 

 was afterward bought back because of the 

 great service rendered by his brother. One 

 daughter of Golden Days, named Golden Morn, 

 was bought by Mr. Jamieson of Ellon and in 

 his hands developed into an excellent breeder. 

 She was quite a dairy cow. Another heifer 

 from Golden Days retained by Mr. Cruickshank 

 was Golden Year. True to the traditions of 

 her tribe she rounded out a long life of useful- 

 ness in the herd. Among the most famous of 

 the Brawith Bud cows maybe mentioned Gilli- 

 ver, Garnish, Godiva and Glowworm; the line 

 that gave rise to Roan Robin (57992), Gondo- 

 mar (55821), Gondolier (52950), Wanderer (60138) 

 and other noted sires. 



It is stated that the original Brawith Bud 

 cows at Sittyton, while presenting a satisfac- 

 tory broadside view, were somewhat lacking 

 in spread of rib, which characteristic was not 

 wholly corrected until the days of Champion of 

 England. That they possessed remarkable con- 

 stitutions, however, is clearly apparent. They 

 were developed into great flesh-carriers as well 

 as good milkers and did much toward estab- 

 lishing the name and fame of Sittyton,
