Aileen: I find the name AINSLIE in both the Scottish Clan and Family Encyclopedia and in Joan Ferguson's Scottish Family Histories. This name originates in England and settled in the lands around Dolphinstone. William de Ainslie was a canon of Glasgow Cathedral around 1208. If you want all the information on this name, e-mail me privately and I'll send it up to you. Patti in Spokane, WA genlindsay@aol.com
