A dedicated collector of South African history: Dr Killie Campbell
Margaret Roach Campbell, or Killie Campbell, as she was later known, was born at Mount Edgecombe on 9 September 1881, the second of four children of the Natal senator and sugar magnate, Sir Marshall Campbell. She was educated at St. Anne's Diocesan College in Natal and at St. Leonard's School in Scotland where, in her own, words, she acquired, "an enthusiasm for History, and a love of historical places." 1
