About

The Early Years
Moira's early achievements were in Field Athletics. At the age of fourteen, in her first year in competitive sport, she won Scottish and British titles in the shot-putt. This was under the expert supervision of her coach, John Anderson (of TV’s ‘Gladiators’ fame). She held the Scottish title until a back injury forced her to retire in her late teens.

Singing Career
Since she had been singing from the age of three, progression into the entertainment business was natural, and winning her first Talent Contest really got her career going.

Her songs, for which she also often composes the music, are mainly of Scotland and the Highlands and these show a rare insight and love of her homeland. The albums which she has created have a wide appeal to all groups, and her poetry, a new venture, has a poignancy and wit which is both refreshing and subtle.

International Concert Tours
Moira's first appearance in the USA was in April 1998 in New York, followed by several concerts in California.

Moira made her Canadian debut in November 1998, sponsored by Island Music (a distributor of Celtic audios and videos, including Moira's) and Celtic Connection. She performed in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary. Moira returned to the States in late January and February 1999 and performed at Burns Nights in Massachusetts and Arizona. Gigs at the Sarasota Highland Games in Florida and then in Pennsylvania followed.

Moira made another Canadian tour in February 2000.

Moira's song writing abilities were really put to the test when BBC Television asked her to write twelve songs for the TV series "Where Eagles Fly" which presented a wide-ranging travelogue of the Scottish Highlands. In addition to performing her songs in the full video set of the programmes, Moira has also created a video of the songs with their accompanying scenic views of places such as Skye, Loch Lomond, Applecross and Torridon.
