Born in Dumbarton as the First World War drew to a close, Margaret Burnett grew up in a Scottish family shaped by English roots and Irish ties.
She found her voice in faith, poetry, and community-teaching Sunday school, writing for children, and embracing work and theatre before the world was once again at war. Her marriage with Bobby Harrison marked the beginning of a shared commitment: a lifetime of peaceful resistance to war and nuclear weapons, even in the face of hostility and prison.
Through faith and courage, Margaret became a beacon of change. Respected across beliefs and borders, her influence reached far beyond Scotland, touching lives throughout the UK and Europe. In her humility and inner strength, many found inspiration.
Based on 15 years of intensive research, Mary Irvine's THE LADY OF ALCLUITH is the story of an ordinary woman who achieved extraordinary things.
