History Of The Clan Lundy, Lundie, Lundin: One Of The Most Ancient Families Of The Kingdom Of Scotland: A History And Genealogy From The 11th Century To The Present Day (Family Histories) Available To Downloads
The history of many of the great houses and families of Scotland are well documented in literature, and by clan associations and individuals on the Internet. The family of Lundie (Lundy, Lundin, Lundyn) is described, by Sir Robert Douglas in his Baronage, as one of the most ancient in Scotland; its history however up until now is almost un-documented. Most lists of Scottish Clans and families seem to omit this family. The few books that do include details; with one notable exception, Lundins of Fife, by G. T. Welsh; provide very little information. In fact the short paper by Welsh is the only text so far printed that was solely dedicated to this family's history. This lack of documentation of the Lundie family is quite remarkable given, as shall be discussed in full later, the fact that members of this family have occupied many high offices in Scotland; including those of Lord High Treasurer, Chancellor, Chamberlain, Hereditary Doorward (personal body guard to the King), and Member of the Council of Regents of the Kingdom. They have performed duties as hosts, ambassadors and representatives of the Sovereign; voted for Wallace as Protector of Scotland, fighting by his side in Scotland's fight for Independence; and played an important role in the reformation of the church in Scotland. Indeed many of the heads of "Great" families of Scotland, have direct descent from this house through marriage with daughters of the various branches of the Lundie family. By taking what has been written by historians so far, it has really only been through reading the histories of these other families and noting their intermarriage with Lundies, that one could form an idea of their high social standing and historical importance.

A scholarly presentation of the Lundy family history, citing many ancient sources and told in a clearly structured manner. I wish there was more information about Lundys who "crossed the pond".
This book was purchased for my ongoing genealogy research project. I am very grateful for the work of the author, as he has given me some wonderful knowledge of these ancestors of mine. I have Scottish heritage in several family lines and Mr. Smith's research is very enjoyable.
