Seonaid began her teaching career in Daliburgh in 1934 and finished in Daliburgh in 1978. Her whole teaching life was spent in Uist. She taught in Loch Carnan, Iochdar, Gerinish, Howmore, Kildonnan, Eriskay and Glendale. It was while she was in Glendale that the SS Politician went aground on rocks on the Uist side just opposite the Island of Calvay in the sound between Eriskay and South Uist, reputably carrying 24,000 cases of whisky. Many were the stories she had to tell about the historic happenings associated with these times. She was also an accomplished piper and among the first women in Uist to play the pipes. The last five years of Seonaid's life were spent in Uist House. She was happy in Uist House and grateful for the company of residents and staff." (Written by Canon John Angus Galbraith in 2002)
