Miss Watson 987 was purchased by Mr M'Combie of 

 Easter Skene, and several fine animals are descended from 

 her. Jilt 9*73 was acquired by Sir George Macpherson 

 Grant, and became the foundress of an excellent family, 

 the most distinguished members having been Juryman 

 404, Judge 1150, and Justice 1462. Euth 1169, before 

 leaving Tillyfour, bred Madge of Portlethen 1217, the 

 progenitrix of the Marquis of Huntly's well-known Madge 

 family, and Ruth 2nd 1783, bought by Mr Barclay, 

 Strocherie. In 1874 Ruth 1169 was sold to Mr Ander- 

 son, Wellhouse, Alford, and has produced some excellent 

 stock there. It is a notable circumstance that these 

 animals have all lived to extraordinary ages. Jilt 973 

 and Miss Watson continued breeding until they were 

 sixteen years old; Ruth is still alive and breeding 

 regularly, although eighteen years old; and Madge was 

 sold for 100 guineas when over ten years old.
