INGLIS

INGLIS. The old Scottish form of ' English,' formerly api:)lied to the descendants of Englislmaeu settled in Scotland, especially of prisoners taken by Malcolm III. from the northern counties in 1070. For years after that date, we are told, English servants or slaves were to be found in every village, and almost in every house. Singularly enough, the baronet familj'', though of Scottish origin, deduce from William Inglis, who had, in 1395, a grant of lands and this surname from Robert III., for killing an Englishman on the borders — Anglus ah Anylum occidciido ; truly as odd an origin as surname ever had !
