1. Mary Marjory MacDonald, Ullapool (born 1884)

Shamed, shunned and notorious: the glittering life of an unexpected heroine, Mary Marjory. The only child of a successful Gaelic speaking fishing family, Mary found herself orphaned in her teens only to work her way up in London society and Europe...where she met her destiny as a successful jewel thief. Pauline talks to Siobhan Beatson, curator at Ullapool Museum and Morven Macdonald, curator Highland Museum of Childhood.
