Tain was granted its royal charter in 1066, making it Scotland's oldest Royal Burgh. In 1966, at the age of 6 years old, Sylvie was the youngest actor in a pageant to commemorate Tain's 9th centenary.
Despite further encouragement with dance and music lessons, Sylvie steered away from stage performance, preferring art, photography and writing. However, her love of local history and folklore remained.
In 1999, Sylvie emigrated from Scotland to Texas to live with her American-born husband. During bouts of homesickness, he encouraged her to channel her longing for Scotland into her flair for creativity. After completing two different diploma courses on writing, the bones of Eye Stone were born.
Sylvie, now widowed, eventually returned to live in the Scottish Highlands where she works in the care industry. She has two sons.
When she is not working, Sylvie writes and can be found taking photographs while walking in her beautiful homeland of the Scottish Highlands.view less
