The title would seem to refer to one of the four daughters of Lieutenant-General John Scott (1757-1812) of Craigentinny, Edinburgh, 5th Baronet of Ancrum, and his wife Harriet Graham. The couple married in 1792 and had six children, four of whom were girls: Margaret (b. 1793), Harriet (b. 1794), Elizabeth (b. 1796), and Lucy (b. 1800).

Ancrum House is a mansion in north Roxburghire that stands near the site of the ancient village of Over Ancrum, and of a rural palace of the Bishop of Glasgow. It commanded a fine view of Teviotdale away to the Cheviot Mountains, and was surrounded by an extensive deer-park, with craggy knolls and grand old trees.
