Cochrane, Lady Elizabeth (1745 — 1811)
The daughter of the 8th Earl of Dundonald, she married Patrick Heron. She was the composer of an air, 'The Banks of Cree', for which Burns wrote the song beginning 'Here is the glen and here the bower'. In 1794, he sent both air and words to George Thomson, who, however, disliked the air, and despite Burns's orders to the contrary, published the song to the tune of 'The Flowers of Edinburgh'. There is now no trace of Lady Elizabeth's air.
