Cunningham, Elizabeth, Countess of Glencairn (1725 — 1801)
The daughter of Hugh McGuire, a musician and carpenter in Ayr, she received a large dowry from Governor Macrae of Madras, whom her father had befriended in earlier years. She married William, 13th Earl of Glencairn in 1744, and was widowed in 1775. Her second son became the fourteenth Earl, and her third son the fifteenth and last Earl. When Burns met her, she was living with her unmarried daughter, Lady Elizabeth at Coates House, near Edinburgh.
