About John Stirling

The Abbotts were succeeded as lairds of Edzell by the Stirlings of Glenesk. In 1358, Katherine, the dauther/heiress of Sir John Stirling, married Sir Alexander Lindsay and the estate passed into the hands of the Crawford Lindsays. It remained with that family for over 350 years. [Edzell Castle, p. 4-5]
