Historical References
"OSLER, OSTLER, OSTLERE, OUSTLER. The hostler or "ostler" is the man who takes, or perhaps we should now say took, charge of the horses at an inn, but originally the word meant the inn-keeper himself (Old French hosteller). The first form here given is common in Fife. William Ostler or Ostillar was a burgess of Forres in 1430 (RMS., n, 177, 179). Andrew Hostalar, member of an inquest at Nam in 1431 (Rose, p. 127) is probably the Andrew Hostillar in Forres mentioned in 1441 (SCM., v, p. 20), and the Andrew Ostillar who had seizin in the lands of Kynowdie in 1449 (Cawdor, p. 15). Hugh Hostelar was tenant of the land of Bucht in 1456 (RAA., n, 106), and Robert Hoistlair was servitor of Lord Ruthven in 1561 (CMN., 82). Andrew Oistlar, reidare at Rothymurcus, 1574 (RMR.). Ostlar 1552. Ostlere in Kirkcaldy, 1941. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
