Acland had named the vessel after Lady Rachel Erskine Grange, who in 1734 was imprisoned by her husband and a group of Jacobite Noblemen on the St Kilda archipelago in Scotland for 17 years. The Lady of St Kilda is the only woman in Scotland known to have had three funeralsRachel Erskine Grange is reported by Tom Steele to have been a bad tempered woman, who overheard her husband James Erskine of Grange plotting a rebellion in 1731. After she threatened to expose the conspirators, the Jacobite nobles who were assembled at her house in Edinburgh decided to imprison her and pretend she was dead. Her fake funeral was held the next day. Rachel was first taken to the Isle of Heisker, off North Uist, then to St Kilda where she was a virtual prisoner, for eight years, from 1734 till 1742.She was then brought to Uist, then to Assynt and then to Skye, where she learned how to spin wool. While on Skye, Rachel managed to smuggle a letter to her cousin, the Lord Advocate, who sent the Navy to search Skye for her. The navy found no trace of Rachel on Skye, however, and her captor,The Macdonald had her tken back to Uist and then to the Vaternish peninsula, where she died in 1745. Her captors were still afraid their false imprisonment of her would be discovered, so they held a second fake funeral for Rachel and buried a second fake coffin at Duirinish, while her body was interred at Trumpan, above Ardmore bay, on the Isle of Skye. Rachel styed longer on the isle of Hirta, than any other outsider, except for the Ministers who were sent to Hirta, AKA St Kilda, the most remote of the Western Hebridean islands. XThomas Acland sold the vessel in 1840 to Jonathan Cundy Pope of Plymouth. The vessel was again used as a trading vessel and sailed for Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne in February 1841.
