Elizabeth was born in Thornton Castle near Laurencekirk, Aberdeenshire, one of the noble houses (but not the seat) of Clan Strachan. The Strachans of Thornton are sometimes erroneously grouped with the lowland clans because Laurencekirk lies south of the escarpment that traditionally separates the two ilks of Scottish clans.
Elizabeth's date of marriage and death are unknown, but I tend to assume she was buried with her husband-- if she hadn't been, the circumstances would've been very untoward, and must surely have tainted family legend in some memorable way.
