| | Significant Scots - Robert Lindsay |
 | | LINDSAY, ROBERT, of Pitscottie, author of the Chronicles of Scotland known by his name, was born about the beginning of the sixteenth century. |
 | | He was a cadet of the noble family of Lindsay, comprising the earls of Crawford and Lindsay, and the lords Lindsay of Byres. |
 | | He aims at nothing beyond a mere record of what he conceived to be facts, and these he goes on detailing, with a great deal of incoherence, and all the unintellectual precision, of an artificial process, neither feeling, passion, nor mind ever appearing to mingle in the slightest degree with his labours. |
