Margaret Macaulay

MARGARET MACAULAY was born in Campbeltown, Argyll, and educated at Campbeltown Grammar School. She graduated from Glasgow University with an MA Hons in History, going on to work as a reporter on The Herald, and later as a freelance journalist, teacher and bookseller. Margaret has always been interested in individual women in Scottish history, especially those who have been maligned or forgotten.

When her daughter went to St Kilda some ten years ago on an archaeological dig, she was drawn to find out more about Lady Grange, and became hooked.
