Biography:

Rhoda MacNair Cameron was the youngest of five sisters born to Dòmhnall Choinnich (Donald MacNair) in Toscaig. She was a fantastically bright student in school but was denied the opportunity of further study, although her eldest sister Jessie Ann is believed to have been the first Applecross-born woman to graduate from university. Her official birth name was Rhodina, but she didn’t like people to know this, and only went by Rhoda. She was an incredible source of local knowledge, stories and genealogical information. She was the last of the five sisters to pass away after Jessie Ann, Bella, Lexy and Nina.
