372 THE LEADING FAMILIES. 



Mains of Kelly Families. 



The Victorias and Lucys, cultivated at Mains of Kelly, 

 have already been alluded to. The other families reared 

 by Mr Bowie the Marthas, descended from the dam of 

 Panmure 5 1 ; the Ardesties, from the Old Montrose herd ; 

 the Guinea Pigs, from Mr Eullerton's stock ; the Jennets, 

 tracing to Mr M'Combie's Young Jenny Lind 207; the 

 Lizzys, going back to Brunette 745 ; and the Watties, from 

 the Arrat stock are fully dealt with in the notice of the 

 Mains of Kelly herd, and their great achievements, the 

 production of celebrated bulls, is detailed at length in 

 that portion of the work. 



Easter Skene Families. 



Mr M'Combie's Miss Watson family has been noticed. 

 Unfortunately several of the other Easter Skens strains 

 are extinct. The one now most numerously represented 

 in the herd is the Grizzle family, descended from a cow 

 bred at Mulben. From it a great many prize stock have 

 been bred. There also exist although we believe not 

 at Easter Skene descendants of Mr M'Combie's cow 

 Mariana 622. Mariana was after the Keillor bull Old 

 Jock 1, and her dam Lady Clara 4 was after Grey- 

 breasted Jock 2, and out of Old Grannie 1. The Miss 

 Eraser family is descended from JMiss Eraser 985, bred 

 at Castle Eraser, her daughter Queen Mary 990 having 

 been by the Kinnaird Dora sire Dalaware 457. The 

 Queen of Scots family springs from Queen of Scots 72, a 

 daughter of the famous Panmure 51. 



Drumin Families. 



The leading family at Drumin is probably the Lucys, 

 to which allusion has been made above. At the same 

 time that the foundress of the Lucy family was introduced
