She was the second of four daughters and after the death of her mother during childbirth in 1849, she and her sisters returned to live with their grandparents at Aldourie Castle on the shores of Lock Ness. In December of 1868, Christina's first book, Sweet Violet and Other Stories, was published and featured 6 illustrations by her sister Mary.
