Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LINDESAY, ROBERT , of Pitscottie (c. 1530-c. 1590), Scottish historian, of the family of the Lindesays of the Byres, was born at Pitscottie, in the parish of Ceres, Fifeshire, which he held in lease at a later period. His Historie and Cronieles of
Scotland
 , the only
work
  by which he is remembered, is described as a continuation of that of Hector Boece, translated by John Bellenden. It covers the period from 1437 to 1565, and, though it sometimes degenerates into a mere chronicle of short entries, is not without passages of
great
  picturesqueness. Sir Walter Scott made use of it in Marmion; and, in spite of its inaccuracy in details, it is useful for the social history of the period. Lindesay's share in the Cronicles was generally supposed to end with 1565; but Dr Aeneas
Mackay
  considers that the frank account of the events connected with
Mary
  Stuart between 1565 and 1575 contained in one of the MSS. is by his hand and was only suppressed because it was too faithful in its
record
  of contemporary affairs.
The Historie and Cronicles was first published in 1728. A complete edition of the text (2 vols.), based on the
Laing
  MS. No. 218 in the university of Edinburgh, was published by the Scottish Text Society in 1899 under the editorship of Aeneas J. G.
Mackay
 . The MS., formerly in the possession of John Scott of Halkshill, is fuller, and, though in a later hand, is, on the whole, a better representative of Lindesay's text.
