Ayrshire / Gadgirth House - Burnett family - Coylton, Ayrshire

Hi!
Looking for information regarding Isabel/Isabella Burnett, born 1803. Her father is Lt. Col. Joseph Burnett (born 1753, Aberdeenshire) and her mother Margaret Steele (born 1769, Coylton, Ayrshire).
I believe she is my 3rd great grandmother, who married William Crozier of Roxburghshire in Selkirk in 1827. The marriage record doesn’t list her parents, so I can’t directly track her back to the Gadgirth Burnett’s. Her date of birth is about right. Most of the documentation I have suggests she is from Gadgirth, but I’ve come across some records that suggest it may be another Isabel.
Gadgirth and Selkirk appear to be about 70 miles apart. The Burnett’s were landowners and William Crozier appeared to be a farmer. Does it seem likely that their paths would cross?
Any information that provides clarification would be appreciated.
