Old photograph of cottages, houses and people on Lindsay Street in Kirriemuir, Scotland. The surname Lindsay is of old British and Anglo Saxon origin, and is a variant of " Lindsey ", an English locational surname from Lindsey in Lincolnshire, England. Early examples include Thomas de Lindesie, Lincolnshire, 1207, and Thomas de Lyndesey, Derbyshire, 1273. David Lindsay, born 1531, died 1613, was bishop of Ross, and chaplain to King James V1; he accompanied the king to Norway to fetch his bride in 1589. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Sir Walter de Lindeseya, which was dated 1124, a witness in the Church Registers of Glasgow, during the reign of King David 1 of Scotland.
