Andrew McIlwraith (fl1715-1753) while an accomplished artist with a good pedigree has left a light footprint in history. Apart from few portraits in the collection of the Earl of Stair, it is seldom pieces can be attributed to him; those than can be, are all of leading members of Scottish society.
The portrait of Bishop Burnet at Marischal College, Aberdeen is also his work.

McIlwraith was certainly acquainted with Allan Ramsay as he was a co-founder with Ramsay and others of the Academy of St. Luke, the original Scottish Academy for the Arts in 1729. He was made a Burgess of the city of Edinburgh in 1735.
