Шаблон:Short description Elizabeth Cairns (1685 – 1741) was a working-class Scottish Calvinist lay preacher and memoirist.[1]
Cairns was born in Blackford, the daughter of an impoverished Scottish Covenanter shepherd.[2] From the age of five she and her sister needed to look after sheep without supervision.[3] At different times she worked as a shepherd, servant and schoolteacher. Her memoirs recorded her life as a spiritual journey, in which she was sustained by mystical and visionary encounters.[4]
