Claim: After graduating she married Ronnie Hedderwick and worked for two years as a travelling art teacher in Mid Argyll (a historic county and registration county of western Scotland), qualifying at Jordanhill College of Education; then they moved to Coll where they lived for ten years, raising their two children Mark and Tammie.
Evidence: After graduating she married Ronnie Hedderwick on 24 June 1962, and worked for two years as a travelling art teacher in Mid Argyll, qualifying at Jordanhill College of Education. The couple then spent eighteen months working respectively as a dairymaid and a cattleman on a large farm estate at Applecross in Wester Ross; but in 1965, three months after the birth of her first child, Mark Hedderwick, they moved to Coll, where they bought Crossapol, an isolated 19th-century farmhouse at the southern end of the island, with a big Rayburn stove and oil and gas lamps and a well, but neither electricity nor running water nor permanent road access, three miles from the next nearest house, at the end of a mile and a half of white sand beach. There the family lived for ten years, raising their two children Mark and Tammie. Argyll (/ɑːrˈɡaɪl/; archaically Argyle, Earra-Ghàidheal in modern Gaelic, pronounced [ˈaːrˠəɣɛː.əl̪ˠ), sometimes called Argyllshire, is a historic county and registration county of western Scotland.
