Your "disambiguation" page calls him Scottish. Which is it? --squadfifteen
I rewrote the article to make this clearer. Although Lindsay was not, of course, Scottish, his family was and he spent much of his childhood in Scotland. Moreover, his influences (Norse mythology, the "Scottish Calvinist" tradition of fantasy (George McDonald, Robert Louis Stevenson, "Confessions of a Justified Sinner") etc. were clearly Scottish.
The main reason for considering him Scottish is that he has nothing to do with the rest of English Literature. He looks (slightly) less weird when considered to be Scottish.
