Sarah Lochhead is referenced in the 1851 Bothwell census as being born in Govan in about 1782. The most likely birth record is 14 Jul 1782 with parents of Matthew Lochhead and Margaret Duncan.
There are as least two possible references in the Scotland Old Parrish Records for parents of Matthew Lochhead:
Baptism: 7 Jul 1745 to John Lochead and Jean Clark at Paisley Renfrew
or
Baptism: 26 Jul 1752 to Robert Lochhead and Marion Howie at Paisley Renfrew, Residence Eaglesham, Abbey (Paisley), Renfrewshire, Scotland
As outlined below it is most likely that Matthew Locchead the father of Sarah was the child of Robert Lochhead and Margaret Howie.
Baptism SP: LOCHHEAD MATTHEW, father - ROBERT LOCHHEAD, mother - MARGRET HOWIE FR678 (FR678) M 26/07/1752 559/20 232 Abbey
There are two relevant records of Matthew's marriage to Margaret Duncan. On 16 Jul 1779 in Paisley Renfrew and one on 4 Aug 1779 in Govan Lanark. These would appear to relate to Bans being proclaimed in both Matthew's church in Paisley (where he was born) and in Margaret's church in Govan (where she was born).
Marriage SP: LOCHEAD MATTHEW, spouse - MARGARET DUNCAN/FR1558 (FR1558) 16/07/1779 559/40 295 Abbey
LOCHHEAD MATTHEW, spouse - MARGARET DUNCAN/FR468 (FR468) 04/08/1779 646/20 286 Govan
The naming of Matthew Lochhead and Margaret Duncan's children make it almost certain that Matthew was the child of Robert Lochhead and Marion Howie.
1st Child - Robert - Paternal Grandfather's name
2nd Child - Sarah - Maternal Grandmother's name
3rd Child - Marion - Paternal Grandmother's name
4th Child - John - Maternal Grandfather's nameIt would also appear possible that Matthew married a second time to Agnes Craig also in Govan. The marriage happens when the children from the Margaret Duncan marriage cease.

Baptism SP: LOCHEAD ROBERT, father - MATTHEW LOCHEAD ,mother - MARGARET DUNCAN FR902 (FR902) M 08/10/1780 559/20 547 Abbey
Baptism Scotland's People: LOCHHEAD SARAH, father - MATTHEW LOCHHEAD, mother - MARGARET DUNCAN FR381 (FR381) F 14/07/1782 646/20 122 Govan
Although the 1851 Census has Sarah born in Govan Renfrewshire, it is assumed that this is the same as Govan in Lanarkshire as the Govan parish boarders the counties of Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire near Glasgow. Thus the Sarah Lochhead born to Matthew Lochhead and Margaret Duncan in 1782 seems most likely to be this Sarah Lochhead.
Sarah Lochead and John Scott's childrens names also support her having parents of Matthew and Margaret. Her children's names are:
1st Margaret - Sarah's mother's name
2nd Thomas - John's father's name
3rd Margaret - Sarah's mother's name again
4th Janet - John's mother's name
5th Matthew - Sarah's father's nameSarah is listed as deceased in her husband John Scott's death registration in 1855.
