The last major stud of Clydesdale horses to be sold in Scotland,some
eighteen head, were sold at the farm of Beauly Mains, up ayont
Inverness, in the late 1980s. I missed this sale by a week so can give no indication of the prices paid.

A breed of animal and a race of men have gone from the land, the like
we"ll never see.

    We"ve sung the last o the auld sang.
    The sang o the plooman chiel,
    As the chains garred clink on his horses sides,
    When they wheeled at the fit o the dreel.
