Marjorie Ogilvie Anderson (1909-2002) was raised in St Andrews, and educated there at St Leonard’s School, and later at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University. After her marriage to the historian Alan Anderson, she acted as his palaeographer and assistant due to his failing eyesight. After his death in 1958, Marjorie Anderson continued to publish on early Scottish history, most notably her works Kings and Kingship in Early Scotland (1973) and her revision of her husband’s Early Sources of Scottish History (1922).
