Autorenporträt
Mary McGrigor grew up in a medieval Scottish castle which resulted in her great love of history. Married to a soldier at age twenty, until her husband, Sir CharlesMcGrigor, left the army to buy a sheep farm in Argyll where she has lived for over sixty years. Beginning with local histories, she then branched out into historical biographies. Much involved in farming, she also bred and broke in Highland ponies and rode over the hills above Loch Awe. With a family of four children, she now has twelve grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.
