Charles M'Intosh (or Charles McIntosh) (1794-1864) was the author of one of the most representative High Victorian gardening books: The Book of the Garden (Edinburgh and London, 1853). M'Intosh was an intelligent and comparatively well-read man, though he was not a talented designer. His guiding lights were Humphry Repton and John Claudius Loudon.

[M'Intosh was descended from a line of gardeners: his grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather had been gardeners to the dukes of Atholl, while his father was the gardener, forester, and manager of improvements on the Abercairney estate for nearly fifty years. In 1814, aged about twenty, M'Intosh travelled to England under the patronage of the landscape gardener Lewis Kennedy (1789-1877). Kennedy introduced him to his father, the senior partner of the important nursery of Lee and Kennedy at Hammersmith, London. M'Intosh had a remarkable career during which he worked for European royalty and the aristocracy, including the King of the Belgians and the Duke of Buccleugh, on estates where finance for gardening projects was virtually unlimited. However, he always showed himself generous with his knowledge and had the ability to write practical books from which a wide range of landowners and gardeners, both professional and amateur, could benefit. The published reviews of his books showed the affection, respect, and esteem in which he was held, as did the wide support for his testimonial, which referred to the help he quietly gave to other members of his profession.].
