Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of photographs of Edzell Castle on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. A ruined 16th century Scottish castle, with an early 17th century walled garden. Edzell Castle was begun around 1520 by David Lindsay, 9th Earl of Crawford, and expanded by his son, Sir David Lindsay, Lord Edzell, who also laid out the garden in 1604. The castle saw little military action, and was, in its design, construction and use, more of a country house than a defensive structure. It was briefly occupied by English troops during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651. In 1715 it was sold by the Lindsay family, and eventually came into the ownership of the Earl of Dalhousie. The Lindsay family originally lived in the parish of Lindsay in the northern English county of Northumberland. Ealdric de Lindsay held estates in both Normandy and in Lincolnshire, England. He was a tenant of English estates for the Earl of Chester. The Scottish surname for Clan Lindsay was first found in Lanarkshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Lannraig, a former county in the central Strathclyde region of Scotland, now divided into the Council Areas of North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, and the City of Glasgow where they were descended from Randolph Lord of Toeni who was banished by Duke William from Normandy in 1058 along with many other knights. He settled on the borders of Lincolnshire and Leicestershire and erected a barony known as Linesi including Belvoir Castle. When the Duke of Normandy invaded England he was again forced to move and settled on the lands of Crawford in Lanarkshire Scotland. The Lindsays of Evelix or Evelick were a family of Scottish baronets from Evelix in Perthshire, a sub-family of the Clan Lindsay. Henry Lindsay, a Scottish convict who was convicted in Glasgow, Scotland for life, was transported aboard the " Asia " on 19th November 1827, settling in New South Wales, Australia. Mary Lindsay, a Scottish convict from Aberdeen, was transported aboard the " Arab " on December 14, 1835, settling in Van Diemen's Land, Australia. Stuart Lindsay, arrived in Adelaide, Australia aboard the ship " Forfarshire " in 1848. Andrew Lindsay, arrived in New York, America in 1708. Donald Lindsay, landed in New York, America, in 1739. Philip Lindsay, landed in Virginia, America, in 1791. Joseph Lindsay, arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America, in 1798.
