Margaret Curtis (1941- 26 March 2022) was a teacher, archaeologist and megalith enthusiast who became known as "the Queen of Callanish" for her authority on the Callanish standing stones on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland.
Born in 1941, Curtis was the adoptive daughter of Charles Woolford, a railway engineer, and his wife Doris, a teacher. She spent her early life in Edgbaston, and after completing her schooling, studied teaching at Maria Grey Training College, Twickenham. While working at a conservation camp in Anglesey, Curtis met Gerald Ponting, a trainee teacher. The couple married in 1967 and took up teaching jobs in Kesgrave, Suffolk. Later, in 1981, Curtis and Ponting self-published a book about the history of Kesgrave.
Curtis died aged 80 years old, at Western Isles hospital on 26 March 2022.
Curtis had a son and a daughter, Benjamin and Rebecca, with her first husband Gerald Ponting.
