Biography
An only child, I was encouraged to be active, swimming, horse-riding and sailing being the main activities. At 12 met future Husband Kevin and by 17 was jointly involved in sub-aqua club diving. Married at 19 I was offered the job as Secretary to the MD of Swan Hunters but declined as we were planning a move to the NW Scotland to work as clam divers aboard our own boat. Sold our house, bought a suitable boat and moved to Skye in 1976. Raised three children and supported husbands fishing activities (with my secretarial skills) operating as fish salesman and bookkeeper until 1985 when we moved into a semi derelict Kiltaraglen where we began renovations. I operated the bed and breakfast, self-catering and managed the family, while involved as Press Officer for the Portree RNLI. I have accommodated many production teams, drivers, runners, etc., over the years while filming took place on Skye; Stardust, Prometheus, 49 Ronin, Three Men in a Boat, and latterly Macbeth to name a few. While also working on our Charter Yacht, firstly as cook/crew in 2000 and latterly as Yacht master (power) we have been involved in the filming of several adverts, documentaries and radio shows. Now semi-retired, I only operate the self-catering and occasional involvement in 'interesting' work.
