Lady Isabella Moncrieff, who wrote under the name of Martha Blackford, was a Scottish writer who wrote numerous children's books, such as the Eskdale Herd-Boy. Her books had moral themes and were set in the Scottish countryside, sometimes against a historical backdrop. She later wrote for an older audience with the Annals of the Family of McRoy. She became Lady Isabella when her husband John Stoddart was knighted in 1826.
