Could someone please help me with the last name of Elisabeth (mother of the bride, Margaret) at the bottom of the page?

It does look like McIntarh, and that was my first thought, a possible
variant of McIntyre, but there are many 'r's on the page and this one
as far as I can see is unique, so I go with McIntosh, however I could
not find a marriage for this couple at Familysearch with either choice.

Thank you for your replies! :)

I agree - it does look like the name is McIntosh, but as mentioned the combination Leishman/McIntosh doesn't return any marriage matches.. Odd. I'll just have to keep searching.

Familysearch has the following marriage:

18 Jun 1829 Cumbernauld, Dunbarton, Scotland  Elizabeth McIntosh and William LEECHMAN.
