Veterinary training took the better part of five years though she loved learning about animals. While she was not happy about not attending her favorite college, she came to love Glasgow as it set her up well for a great career as a veterinarian. Since Manda had to have a rounded education to become a vet, she had to attend Glasgow rather than her preferred Edinburgh. She had a very good time at her small private school where they left her to her books when she said all she wanted to become was a vet.
She had always been an introverted, shy, and asocial child that was not interested in the usual girly obsession such as fashion, music, and boys. She thinks becoming a vet was to some extent living out the fantasies of becoming a veterinarian her mother had.Īs for her schooling, Manda Scott went to an all-girls private school as a four-year-old and left after graduating to go attend the Glasgow Vet School. As such, it is not surprising that she would become a vet before she became a professional author.
Her childhood was thus spent in a house full of buzzards, kestrels, and owls, and the occasional RTA deer or litter of fox cubs. As for her mother, she always dreamed of becoming a vet but lacked the knowledge and schooling and resorted to setting up a raptor rehabilitation center. She thanks her father for the various times she slipped into her geek phase. While she was growing up, her father was a mechanical engineer and professor at the University of Strathclyde and was among the first to start teaching a computer-aided machine tools course. She spent much of his childhood in the small village where his father still lives and hence, he is rooted as could be in the happenings in the countryside.She often considers moving back home from time to time though he has lived in England so long that it has become a second home.
It is a small village with a rich history that includes the Covenanters and the Alexanders of Eglington. Manda Scott is a mystery, thriller, and historical fiction author that was born and raised in a small village near Glasgow in the United Kingdom.
