She was the eldest child of John Murray, 3rd Duke of Atholl, and Charlotte Murray, Duchess of Atholl. She is best known for her two-volume work The British Garden, which ran to two or three editions in her lifetime, the second (and possibly the first)[1] being in 1799, and the third in 1805 or 1808,[2] and another in 1880.[3] In 1793, Lady Charlotte discovered a double variety of Geranium pratense which she sent to Lady Banks.[4] She died in Bath on 4 April 1808, unmarried.[5] Works
