Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the Reid memorial stained glass window in the Holy Trinity Church at East Port on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dunfermline, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Gifted by Mr L. B. Stevenson and Miss Reid in memory of their parents, Henry and Lizzie Reid. Dedicated by the Bishop of St Andrews in 1959. The surname Reid was first found in Aberdeenshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain, a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of north eastern Scotland where the name has been found since the 14th century. Ancient charters show the name as Rufus; records include an Ada Rufus who witnessed resignation of the lands of Ingilbristoun in 1204; and a William Rufus, who was a juror on an inquest on the lands of Padevinan in 1259. For the purposes of Clan identification, the family name Reid is officially a sept of the Clan Robertson and as such is entitled to the Clan Badge and Crest of the Robertsons. Spelling variations of this family name include: Ried, Reid, Read, Reed and others. Notable amongst the Clan from early times was Robert Reid, died 1558, Scottish abbot of Kinloss and bishop of Orkney, son of John Reid of Aikenhead, who was killed at Flodden; Thomas Redi, Read or Rhaedus, died 1624, Latin secretary to King James I, second son of James Reid, minister of Banchory Ternan, Kincardineshire; Alexander Rhead or Reid, born 1586, died 1641, a Scottish anatomist and surgeon, whose surname is variously spelt Reid, Read, Reade, Rhead, or Rhaedus, the third son of James Reid, minister of Banchory Ternan, Kincardineshire; and Thomas Reid, died 1625, who was appointed Latin secretary to King James I.
