3 Celts & Company • "LESLIE" The name is from the lands of Leslie in Garioch, Aberdeenshire, granted to Malcolm, son of Bartholf or Bartholomew under King William the Lion. A 13th-century descendant obtained grant of the Fife lands now also called Leslie; and a later marriage brought to the family the earldom of Rothes in Moray, now seat of the Chief. John Leslie (1526-96), Bishop of Ross, was a notable historian and devoted champion to Mary Queen of Scots. Then in the following century there were at one time active three Generals Leslie: Walter, Count Leslie, with the German Emperor, whilst Alexander and David Leslie both earned distinction first with Gustavas Adolphus, then with Scotland's Covenanting armies.
