the Highland in 1901. She was sold to Mr Kerr 

 Colville for 300 gs. The most famous bull from her 

 was Strowan Marquis 13th, a prominent prize-winner 

 at the large open shows, and reserve champion to 

 Linksfield Champion at the English Royal while 

 owned by Mr Rothwell. He was also a splendid suc- 

 cess as a sire. In his home herd he left the exceedingly 

 pretty cow Strowan Clayre, the dam of Strowan 

 Clarion, the Birmingham champion for which Mr Wm. 

 Duthie paid 1500 gs., and in Mr Roth well's herd he 

 sired the great champion Duke of Hoole. 



Buttercup 3rd, a grand-looking cow, was second- 

 prize two-year-old at the Highland Show in 1891, 

 and she was dam of Buttercup 12th, the third-prize 

 winner at the National Show of 1900, and winner of 

 the Shorthorn Society's Dairy Prize. The 23rd of 

 the line was bought at Perth in 1907 by the late 

 Mr Henry Dudding for 430 gs., and she proved a 

 great winner in England, while the 31st was also 

 highly successful in the possession of Sir Richard 

 Cooper. A notable bull of the family was Strowan 

 Butterfly 24th, which was acquired as a yearling in 

 1908 by Mr George R. Grant of Auchnacree, in whose 

 herd he won a high reputation. 



Miriam produced Maid Marion, and she was a vast 

 credit to Star of Morning and to her dam, as she lived 

 to eighteen and gave the herd sixteen calves. Among 

 her produce were the Perth winner Strowan Royal 

 Duke, and Royal Princess, the dam of the remarkable 

 stock bull Strowan Regent, whose young bulls were 

 sold at 360 to 1500 gs.
