Genealogy index of Lornie / Bain / McKay / Milne

In a vague attempt to spent my time offshore more constructively, I havebeen trying to track down the Lornie family. Although they seem to be a smallfamily they are spread far and wide across the globe. The main group of Lornie'soccur in an area stretching from Errol through to Perth. From this area groups have drifted out to Dundee,Kirkcaldy, Edinburgh & Aberdeen to name a few places.
The majority of information on this website relates to Lornies in the Perthshire area,but thanks to the generosity of others I have been able to include information on Lornies in other areas.


The Lornie name originated around Errol, Perthshire in Scotland and duringthe 1700-1800's they were very much involved in the manufacturing of variouskinds of cloth/fabric. This involvement ranged from the operation of the loomsto actually owning a company producing floor coverings.


The Lornie's are classed as a sept of the clan Hay and can therefore wear their tartan. Although, one of the family John Guthrie Lornie [P319] convincedthe Lord Lyon to grant him a motto "Sto pro vertitate ", a crest and a tartan.This is another avenue that still needs investigating.

This listing is the result of her time and effort, she has even managed toget one up on me by including a picture of herself.
