Olive Susan Miranda Temple (née MacLeod; 18 February 1880 – 16 May 1936) was a Scottish writer and traveller, known for her work in natural history and ethnography. In 1910–1911, she journeyed 6,000 km (3,700 mi) through parts of Africa little known to Europeans to visit her fiancé's grave, and later published a book based on her observations.[1] In Africa, she later met and married the colonial official Charles Lindsay Temple, and wrote a second book about the geography and ethnography of Northern Nigeria. The couple eventually settled in Granada.[1]
