Educated at Cheltenham Ladies College she went on to study Law at Glasgow in 1947. After a slightly difficult start in her first and second year encounters with Civil Law and Constitutional Law she progressed through a standard B.L. curriculum to graduate in 1951. Having also met the requirements for professional registration and served her apprenticeship she was admitted as a solicitor in 1952. Initially she was in practice in Hamilton in the nineteen fifties. She married John Bunting in 1968 and lived in the Kingussie area until her death in 1988, aged 57.
