''Recollections'', 1910, p16.〕 the seventh child of John Colquhoun (1805–1885) of Luss, Dunbartonshire, author of ''The Moor and the Loch'', and Frances Sarah Fuller Maitland (1813–1877), a poet and hymn writer.〔ODNB entry; (L B Walford - birth and death details ) (thepeerage.com)〕 Her paternal grandmother, Janet Colquhoun (1781–1846), was a religious writer, and an aunt, Catherine Sinclair (1800–1864) was a prolific novelist and children's writer.〔ODNB entry.〕
Lucy Colquhoun was educated privately by German governesses. Her reading included works by Charlotte Yonge and Susan Ferrier, and in later years Jane Austen. The family moved into Edinburgh in 1855, where guests included the artist Noël Paton, who encouraged her to take up painting. In 1868 and several succeeding years she exhibited at the annual exhibition of the Royal Scottish Academy. Her first short piece of writing appeared in the ''Sunday Magazine'' in May 1869.〔

They had two sons and five daughters.〔 The children were said to be "never put aside for her work" and "constantly with their mother." 〔Black, ''Notable women authors'', 1906, p26 ff.〕 She died on 11 May 1915 at her home in Pimlico, London.〔
