xii AUTHOR'S NOTE. 



Buchanan, and several others. I have been more 

 than ordinarily indebted to Mr Hunter and Mr 

 Douglas. For notes on the early life of Colonel 

 Williamson and on the old Lawers herd, I have 

 gone to a charming little volume by the late Mr 

 John Stewart, Crieff. 



Among histories, Sinclair's and Bell's have been 

 of most use. Family papers have been of aid to 

 some extent. To the foregoing I have of course 

 added my own recollections, and some garnering 

 from occasional notes. 



The Tulliallan and Boquhan herds, which are dealt 

 with in the regular notices, now fall to be referred 

 to as dispersed. Their sale averages are given in 

 the Appendix, along with other relevant matters.
