Manda Scott (born 1962)[1] is a former Scottish veterinary surgeon who is now a novelist, blogger, podcaster, columnist and occasional broadcaster.

Rooted in the pre-Roman world of ancient Britain and the Britannia it became the novels 'give us back our own history',[6] exploring the worlds of druids (called dreamers in the book and portrayed as shamans), warriors and the Roman occupation that, in Scott's eyes, destroyed a once-great civilisation.

She began her dual time line novels with a fast-paced, "swift and vigorous" thriller, Into the Fire,[10] which explores the truth behind the myth of Jeanne d'Arc – and the impact those revelations could have on modern day France.

A Treachery of Spies, winner of the 2019 McIlvanney Prize,[11] is another dual time line, this one explores the impacts of actions by the Maquis, the SOE, the Jedburghs, and in particular, the nascent CIA on the present.
