other countries. In 1903, Catherine 2nd by Mr Heine- 

 man's Royal Lamorby (59,830) and her heifer calf 

 Cluny Crocus by the Collynie Royal Pride (71,489) 

 were bought at Lady Cathcart's sale. Cluny Crocus 

 developed into a magnificent show cow, and for all her 

 wealth of flesh she proved a great breeder and founded 

 at Redgorton a family of wonderful all-round merit. 

 She was first in the cow class at the Aberdeen High- 

 land of 1908, and took championships at Edinburgh, 

 Perth, and Crieff. The Miss Ramsden cow Lady Lin- 

 coln 5th by Mr James Bruce's Belted Knight (56,933) 

 was acquired at Colonel Munro's sale in 1905. Her 

 best-known daughter has been the champion Belle of 

 Lincoln by the Uppermill Royal Bounty (89,907). 

 The Miss Ramsdens now take a strong position in the 

 herd, as they have proved exceptionally fine breeders. 

 In more recent years females of the Broadhooks, Clara, 

 Graceful, and Kilblean Beauty families have been 

 added to the herd. Other strains have been tried at 

 different times and dispensed with. 



Some of the best bulls in the herd may be 

 named. From Sittyton there were bought privately, 

 between 1868 and 1886, Aidecamp (30,364), School- 

 master (39,086), and Dauntless (54,155), the last noted 

 being so famous in after years at Ballechin, Collynie, 

 and in Yorkshire. Knightly Friar (41,773) was 

 taken from Mr Fisher's herd in 1877. Two years 

 later Sir Walter (45,627) from Kinellar marked a 

 return to the Scotch type. Prince Charlie (51,875) 

 in 1884, and Hubback Junior (59,123) in 1889, were 

 fine stock bulls from the herd of Mr George Bruce.
