  Malcolm, son of Bartholf received the grant of the Lands of Leslie, after 1172, possibly even as late as 1178 or 1179. The grant was made by Earl David, [circa 1144 to 1219] afterwards Earl of Hunting

  ________________________________
  
  Malcolm, son of Bertolf, the next on record, is said to have succeeded his father in 1121. But as he first appears in a charter which cannot be earlier than 1172, and may be after 1178, it is probable that he did not succeed so early. The charter is by Earl David, afterwards Earl of Huntingdon, and grants to Malcolm, son of Bertolf, and his heirs his land in Lesslyn (Leslie), as it was perambulated to or for him in presence of Matthew, Bishop of Aberdeen, by the Earl's good men or tenants. This clause of the writ plainly shows that it is the first grant of the lands from which the family surname was derived, as the boundaries required to be walked over and settled. The other lands named in the writ, Achnagart, etc., are not referred to in the same terms, but are granted according to their right divisions, as if these had been already possessed by Malcolm or his father, and Leslie must therefore have been a new acquisition. The property was of importance, as the charter gave the power of pit and gallows, and the reddendo was the service of one knight. Malcolm is said by the family history to have died about 1176, but this is erroneous, and he must have been a much younger man at that date than he has been assumed ot be. He is a witness to a charter granted by Earl David to the monks of Arbroath, which cannot be earlier than 1190, and he appears also in other writs, whcih may be dated respecively in 1195, 1199, and 1200. He died probably in 1200, as his son Norman granted the church of Leslie to the Abbey of Lindores between that and 1207. [The Scots Peerage VII:265]
