218 EXISTING SCOTCH HERDS. 



first recorded members are Fortune 945, Grace 946, and 

 Eliza 960. In 1862 there were bought from Mr Bowie, 

 Mains of Kelly, the heifers Young Lucy 947 and Young 

 Eaniston 948. As these are the animals that established 

 the families that have mainly raised the reputation of the 

 herd, it is desirable to furnish a brief analysis of their 

 pedigrees. Young Lucy 947 was after Young Panmure 

 232, bred by Mr M'Combie of Tillyfour, the first-prize aged 

 bull at Dumfries Highland Society show in 1860. He 

 was got by Hanton 228, and out of Crinoline 204, one of 

 the closest-bred Queen cows at Tillyfour, a daughter of 

 the celebrated Charlotte 203. Young Lucy's dam, Lucy 

 of Portlethen 287, was after Fyvie 13, a son of the Keillor 

 bull Old Jock 1. Lucy of Portlethen 287 was out of the 

 same cow as Eaglan 208, who was in the prize-list at the 

 Paris Exhibition in 1856, when Mr Walker, Portlethen, his 

 breeder, refused an offer of 230 from the Emperor Napo- 

 leon. Young Eaniston 948 was after Alford 231, a son of 

 Hanton 228 and the Queen cow Fair Maid of Perth 313, 

 a first-prize winner at the Eoyal English and Highland 

 Societies' shows. From these two heifers, acquired from 

 Mr Bowie, are descended the Lucy and the Beauty fami- 

 lies. In 1862, two heifers were purchased from the late 

 Mr Eobertson, Burnside. One of these died, but the other, 

 Princess of Burnside 950, has left a good family. At the 

 Tillyfour sale in 1867, the cow Dandy 949 was bought. 

 Her breeding was very fashionable, she being out of Empress 

 of France 578, a full sister of Pride of Aberdeen 581, and 

 after Eob Eoy Macgregor 267, a full brother of the famous 

 Kinnaird bull Windsor 202. At the same sale in 1867, 

 the heifer Pride 957, after President 4th 368, and out of 

 Pride of Aberdeen 3rd 1168, was acquired. The chief 

 females added since were Moonlight 1479, of the Eothie- 

 may Georgina family, dam of those excellent bulls Sir 

 Eoger 702 and Sir Wilfred 1157, both Highland Society 

 prize-winners ; Eornpie 2298, from Burnside, full of Queen
