304 SHORTHORNS 



for which Mr Duthie paid 1000 gs. at the Uppermill 

 dispersions of 1915. Sired by Royal Leader (103,727), 

 Lancaster Royal was a bull of high-class breed char- 

 acter, great scale, fine quality, and perfect temper. 

 The cows by him are not only good to look at as 

 symmetrical, short -legged, Scotch Shorthorns ; they 

 are excellent milkers and true breeders. The Collynie- 

 bred white Merry Victor (116,563), acquired as a two- 

 year-old at Colonel Munro's sale in 1914, has proved 

 highly successful, especially when mated with the 

 Lancaster Royal cows and heifers. He is a big 

 handsome-looking bull by Merry Stamp (99,629), out 

 of Vine 2nd, by the 1000 gs. Perth first-prize Achilles 

 (93,962). At the Perth spring sales of 1919 a very 

 fine young bull, with specially good hindquarters, was 

 acquired at 750 gs. in Harviestoun Norseman, a roan 

 Nonpareil bred by Mr J. E. Kerr and by Sanquhar 

 Grand Gallant (133,421). 



In numbers the Tulliallan herd usually ranges from 

 70 to 80 head. At the present time it is the largest 

 in the county of Fife. Occupying rising ground on 

 the northern bank of the Forth, the farm overlooks 

 historic Dunmore across the water, and a few miles 

 farther away to the east is Keavil, where Tom Easton 

 saw visions and dreamed dreams, in which Heir of 

 Englishman was central figure. (See Appendix.)
