Truthfulness with me is hardly a virtue. I cannot discriminate between truths that and those that don't need to be told.

Margot Asquith

Margot Tennant was born in Peeblesshire, Tweeddale, of Scottish and English descent. She was the sixth daughter and eleventh child of Charles Clow Tennant, industrialist and politician, and Emma Winsloe. She was brought up at Glen, the family's country estate, Margot and her sister Laura grew up wild and uninhibited. Margot was a "venturesome child", roaming the moors, climbing to the top of the roof by moonlight, riding her horse up the front steps of the estate house. Riding and golf were her life-long passions
