Historical References
"IRONSIDE. There is a pkce Ironside at New Deer, Aberdeenshire, and a farm called Eamside in Moray. At Black Ironside, or Eamside, near Newburgh, Fife, Wallace is said to have gained a victory over the English and drove them out of Fife. The surname most probably originated from the Aberdeenshire place. In the eighteenth century the surname was very common in the district of New Deer. Mage Irynsyd was banished from Aberdeen in 1570 (CRA., p. 368), Patrick Irnesyde in Tamehill was a victim of the Aberdeen witches in 1597 (SCM., i, p. 133), and James Imesyde, at the old mill of Foveran, was accused in 1627 of being an "idle and masterless man" (RFC.). Edmund Yrinsyde who witnessed a quit-claim of the land of Drumkarauch in 1260 (RPSA., p. 346) may have derived his name from Earnside near Newburgh. Thomas Ironside was a minor poet of the nineteenth century. Andrew Jamieson Ironside was a land surveyor in 1870, and four men named Ironside from Turriff and New Byth served in the first Great War (Turriff). Dr. Gaelic E. Ironside, a native of Aberdeen, published the first Greek book printed in New York, the Institutio Crsecse grammaticis, 1817. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
