John Elphinstone, 8th Lord Elphinstone, was the second son of the 6th Lord. He was baptized at Airth on 28 August 1649. He married Isabel Maitland, daughter of Charles Maitland, Lord Hatton, in 1670. To address his debts, he sold much of the barony of Elphinstone, retaining only the "mansion-house and gardens, and grounds about the house".
He died, seemingly quite suddenly, in 1753, predeceasing his father by some four years. His younger brother, Charles, inherited the title of lord Elphinstone on the latter's death in 1757. I first came across a black and white print of John Elphinstone’s Burntisland map in John J. Blyth’s book, 'Burntisland: Early History and People'.
