PARENTAGE?
This is uncertain. Elizabeth Scrimgeour is regularly described in secondary sources as the daughter of Sir James Scrimgeour of Dudhope, Constable of Dundee, yet the James Scrimgeour who would fit as father her likely date of birth is said to have had only two daughters, neither of whom ase named Elizabeth. His son, also james, did have a daughter named Elizabeth, but she is said to have married someone other than Thomas Erskine.
"There is a good deal of information about Sir Thomas Erskine in the Spalding Club Miscellany, vol ii, pp. lxxiii, etc., Editor's preface; in a note she is called 'a daughter of Scrimgeour of Duddop.' "
