Upper from THM
Lower from the AllBreed site
With only 7 crosses to Justin Morgan, his dam was just barely a Morgan; behind her was Thoroughbred, Trotter (Standardbred), and untraced lines.
But Scotland, upon maturity as shown in the lower photo, did receive Morgan looks.
The following is from the AllBreed site--
" Noted as a Morgan horse of very elegant proportions and pure trotting action. Amazing that he was on the 1918 Morgan Horse Club list for elimination from the USGMHF breeding program. Transferred to the Remount Service, War Department from the MHF in 1922. Sired 34 foals on record: Gelding 1, Mare 23, Stallion 10. black 3, brown 1, chestnut 27. Scotland was also active around the farm at Weybridge with carriage driving. He was exactly what the US Army was looking for as a Cavalry mount. Registered Morgan progeny: 11 colts, 23 fillies."--
I would wager that the famous 1918 Morgan Horse Club list of elimination was due very much to his pedigree.
Some of his get did breed on, including:
--Highlad Lad, used in the Army Remount Service. He is behind Glens Morgan who, in the 1950's, was in Oregon siring and promoting Morgans.
--McMahon Morgan General, Grand Champion Stallion at the 1920 Vermont State Fair. He was sire of Escort, sire of 18. Escort was sire of Pomulus, sire of 15, including Keystone, Pommelass, Queen Iowana (who traces down to Arana Field), and others.
--Nunda, dam of Gypsy Prince and others
--Scotanna, dam of 8, including Manscot Lullaby (dam of Woodland Chief, sire of 25), Manscot Merrimaid (behind Oatka Wendee, and dam of Springlet), Monterey (sire of 83, used in Remount and Crow Indian Reservation, a very important sire in the West). Upwey Anna, dam for Upwey, Bald Mt., and Townshend.
--Tootsie, behind Scott's Hero, sire.
