Memoirs on Improving Highland Wool Presented to Edinburgh Society
James Anderson argues Britain lost its fine sheep breed to Spain and poor policy. He traces decline from Hereford to Scotland, noting mixed, debased flocks across Annandale, Galloway, and the Highlands. He proposes urgent preservation to restore a valuable Highlands wool source. Two generations seek to recover the breed before irrecoverable loss.

Preservation of a Scottish sheep breed urged by society patrons
Arthur Nicholson and the Rev Mrs John Morison appeal to the Society to back efforts to preserve a valuable ancient breed of Caledonian sheep. They argue the breed must be safeguarded from destruction, with experiments to assess wool value and improvements, and hope influential members will ensure action. The Duke of Argyle is among supporters.
