Much informed by her own experiences, MacLeod Trotter was raised in the north-east of England by Scottish parents and travelled in India as a young woman. Fascinated by family links between Scotland and India, she discovered diaries and letters belonging to her grandparents, who married in Lahore and lived and worked in northern India for nearly thirty years, which served as her inspiration for the India Tea Series.
