Elizabeth Cairns was a working-class Scottish Calvinist lay preacher and memoirist. Cairns was born in Blackford, the daughter of an impoverished Scottish Covenanter shepherd. From the age of five she and her sister needed to look after sheep without supervision. 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.
