LESLIE

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 494 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LESLIE , a police
burgh
  of Fifeshire, Scotland. Pop. (1901) 3587. It lies on the Leven, the vale of which is overlooked by the town, 4 m. W. of Markinch by the North British railway. The
industries
  include
paper
 -making, flax-spinning, bleaching and linen-weaving. The old church claims to be the " Christ's Kirk on the Green " of the ancient ballads of that name. A stone on the Green, called the
Bull
  Stone, is said to have been used when
bull
 -baiting was a popular pastime. Leslie
House
 , the seat of the
earl
  of Rothes, designed by Sir William Bruce, rivalled Holyrood in magnificence. It was noted for its tapestry and its gallery of family portraits and other pictures, including a
portrait of Rembrandt by himself. Daniel Defoe considered its park the
glory
  of the kingdom. The
mansion
  sustained serious damage from fire in 1763. Norman Leslie, master of Rothes, was concerned in the killing of Cardinal Beaton (1546), and the dagger with which John Leslie, Norman's uncle, struck the fatal blow is preserved in Leslie
House
 .
