Trying to locate the name of a woman author of Scottish series.
She resides in Edinburgh
She was recently made a "Dame"
wrote about the Coulter family.

I thought it may be Dorothy Dunnett but cannot locate any reference to a
Coulter family or that she was named a "Dame" prior to her death.

I think this probably IS Dorothy Dunnett. In the Lymond series, the family
title was "Culter", so his brother Richard was the Baron Culter, and the
heir was the Master of Culter, which is awfully close to Coulter. Also,
Dorothy Dunnett was a "Dame", she was awarded the Order of the British
Empire in 1992 for her services to literature.
