Sir John "of Edzell and Glenesk" Stirling
(Abt 1300 - Abt 1360)
}}
==Biography==
Sir John Stirling of Edzell and Glenesk (lands in Kincardineshire; the lands were combined in c. 13th C), is noticed in Balfour Paul's work ''The Scots Peerage'', as the father of Katherine Stirling when she marries Sir Alexander Lindsay, second surviving son to David Lidsay, Lord of Crawford.[[#Paul|Paul]]: [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun03pauluoft#page/12/mode/2up Vol 3; Page 13] His parentage is unknown at this point.
He had two daughters that served as co-heirs to the Edzell and Glenesk estates. According to Jervise, in ''The history and traditions of the land of the Lindsays in Angus and Mearns'', one Catherine, became the wife of Sir Alexander, third son of Sir David Lindsay of Crawford, about the year 1357, and the other married Robert de Atholia, grandson of Angus, lord of the Isles.The history and traditions of the land of the Lindsays [https://archive.org/stream/historytradition00jerv#page/30/mode/2up page 31]
Jervise further states that "Lindsay succeeded to the Forfarshire portion of the Stirling estates, which consisted of Edzell, Glenesk, and Lethnot, while the other son-in-law inherited the Inverness and Moray portion, and, by a second marriage, was ancestor of the ancient house of Struan-Robertson".The history and traditions of the land of the Lindsays [https://archive.org/stream/historytradition00jerv#page/30/mode/2up page 31] This would appear to confirm that the John Stirling of this profile was the last of the line of Stirling of Moray.
===Research Notes===There is a Sir John Stirling noticed as sheriff of Inverness in 1304 but it is unlikely to be the person of this profile unless dates, as shown, are incorrect.
In Jervise's work, ''The history and traditions of the land of the Lindsays in Angus and Mearns'', he mentions that "The most ancient proprietors hitherto spoken of in connectionwith Glenesk were the family of Stirling".The history and traditions of the land of the Lindsays [https://archive.org/stream/historytradition00jerv#page/28/mode/2up page 29] The same source suggests Nisbet is incorrect in his work where he states "Johannes de Stryvelin, miles, who swore fealty to Edward in 1296, was then lord of Glenesk". He was not; the John of Stirling that swore fealty in 1296 was [[Stirling-882|Sir John, Lord of Stirling, Carse and Alva]]. Jervise makes mention of "A family of the name of Stirling were proprietors of Lauriston in the Mearns, in 1243, as at that date Alexander de Strivelin gave to the Prior and Canons of St. Andrews the Chapel of Laurenston". That line is from the Stirlings of Moray and those lands were held by [[Stirling-891|Sir Alexander Stirling of Moray]]. It is likely, although not certain, that the person of this profile came form the latter line.
