KEILLOR FAVOURITES AND BEAUTIES. 105 



Kinnochtry. Another was Beauty (not registered), best 

 known as the dam of Emily 332, from whom springs the 

 famous Ballindalloch Ericas. In the volumes of the ' Herd 

 Book ' published prior to 1879, Emily was said to have been 

 out of Beauty 96, bred by Sir James Carnegie. In the 

 notes supplied to us by the Honourable Charles Carnegie 

 on the Kinnaird herd, this inaccuracy is fully dealt with. 

 Emily 332 was bought by the Earl of Southesk for 37 

 at Mr Watson's sale in September 1853. She was lot 20 

 of the sale, and her pedigree was printed in the catalogue 

 as follows "Angus, heifer: by Old Jock, dam Beauty 

 the dam of Sir T. Burnett's famous bull." We are in- 

 formed by Mr Ferguson, Kinnochtry, that this Beauty, 

 bred at Keillor, the dam of Emily 332, became the property 

 of Sir Alex. Burnett, and that Mr Hugh Watson bought 

 her and her yearling bull, The Baronet 339, back from 

 Crathes in 1856. Another Beauty bred at Keillor was 

 Beauty of Tillyfour 2nd 1180, after Young Jock 4, and 

 out of Favourite 2. She was a very good cow, with a 

 large lump on one of her fore legs, and was bought by 

 Mr M'Combie of Tillyfour at the Keillor sale in 1860 for 

 64. At Tillyfour she produced Euth 1169 and Jilt 973. 

 At the Keillor sale in 1860, Mr M'Combie also bought 

 the daughter of Beauty of Tillyfour 2nd, named Miss Wat- 

 son 987, for 34 or 37. Miss Watson, who was sold at 

 the Tillyfour sale in 1867 to Mr M'Combie of Easter 

 Skene, is erroneously entered in vol. ii. of the 'Herd 

 Book' as out of Beauty of Buchan 5. The error is re- 

 peated in the pedigree of Miss M'Combie of Fyvie 1519, 

 a daughter of Miss Watson, and purchased by the late 

 Colonel Gordon at the Tillyfour sale in 1867 for 61 

 guineas. It also occurs in the pedigrees of the bulls 

 Derby 377, Disraeli 401, Eeform 408, and Taurus 410 

 all of whom were descended from Beauty of Tillyfour 2nd 

 1180, and through her from the Keillor Favourites, and not 

 from Beauty of Buchan 5, whose dam was Old Grannie 1.
