Daryl Coup has kindly sent me the image of her baptism register and the transcription,

{Edinburgh Parish]

27 february 1659
Mr Robert Smyth of Southfield Elizabeth Hope, a. d. n Helene Witn. Sir James [?] of Hoptown Sir John Smyth of Grathill Mr John Smyth Advocat

Note that this confirms her mother’s maiden name.

And I evenually guessed the ‘a.d.n.’ meant ‘a daughter named’.
