Clan History
Ainslie History
The name Ainslie most likely derives from Annesley in Nottinghamshire, England. William de Haneslej who witnessed a charter by Walter, Bishop of Glasgow (1208-18) is probably the same William de Anslee who was Canon of Glasgow in 1220. Magister Thomas de Aneslei was one of a number appointed to settle a dispute between the monks of Kelso and the Hishop of Glasgow in 1221.
