[Quotation] "The only other residence in the parish which deserves particular mention on account of its antiquity is Kirkforthar the seat of George Johnstone Lindsay Esqr a Cadet of the noble and ancient family of Crawfurd. Kirkforthar formed part of the Lord Lindsay's ancient estate of Struthers and became a separate branch in the following manner . David Lord Lindsay of Byres espoused the Cause of King James III in opposition to the views of his son James IV, who was stirred up by the confederated nobles to become their leader in a foul an unnatural rebellion. Lord Lindsay commanded the father's adherents. The two hostile armies having met at Sauchieburn, a battle took place which issued in the defeat of the unfortunate James III. Immediately after Lord Lindsay was arraigned for high treason. Although he was an excellent soldier and had great experience in the service of foreign states yet he was but little gifted with Court phraseology or versed in judicial procedure." etc. See Stat.
