Susanna Montgomery, Countess of Eglinton (1690 – 18 March 1780), was the daughter of Sir Archibald Kennedy, 1st Baronet of Culzean and the third wife of Alexander Montgomerie, 9th Earl of Eglinton. Born in 1690, she died at Auchans on 18 March 1780 at the age of 90.She had been a widow for nearly 51 years.
Lady Eglinton was celebrated for her beauty, and for her patronage of the Scottish poets and writers of her day. Her interest in literature was seen by her contemporaries to be distinctly odd for one of her station.[4] Sir William Fraser, the Scottish historian, said that to her loveliness were added the more valuable attractions of genius and great accomplishment. She was exceptional in her knowledge of art, music, literature, science, philosophy and history; additionally she spoke Italian, French and German.
Cummell in her lifetime recorded that her complexion was like rhododendron and rose flowers dipped in milk.[20] her daughter Helen once commented Who can surpass Mama? She has not aged a day in fourty [sic] years. It was believed that Susanna had discovered the secret of eternal youth, showing no signs of her beauty lessening even at the age of sixty.
