Like so many enterprising women, her career is almost undocumented, but ranges from a divorce in the USA (believed to be the first that cited computers as the cause of the break-up) inspiring her to move to London, where in 1969 she became the first woman to edit a computer weekly publication, 'Dataweek.'

Nancy Foy was also among the early start-up participants of the London based Real Time Users Club, both before and after she left journalism to pursue her management studies at Oxford.

After a considerable spell of living and working in and around Oxford and London, she married John Cameron and they and their two cats moved, for historically researched family reasons into the cottage of Clunemore, in the parish of Killicrankie, where they proceeded to commute when the occasion took them, by the night train to London.

Eventually Nancy was to set up her book shop, Atholl Browse in Blair Atholl, while John worked on book restoration and rebinding, which included delicate gilding and marbling work. He also undertook the restoration of the cottage, creation of the kitchen, a ceramic tiled seat shower, wall-building for the garden under an amazing spread of the geen tree, and in which grew even horse radish, rose madder and wode among roses, and poppies  and strawberries.

In Nancy's own words: FORMERLY ATHOLL BROWSE (THE SHOP BY THE STATION IN BLAIR ATHOLL), THEN ATHOLL FINE BOOKS, NOW TRADING AS NANCY FOY CAMERON. WE SPECIALISE IN BOOKS ABOUT SCOTLAND, THOUGH WE ALSO HAVE A PLEASANT GATHERING OF LITERATURE, FAMILY AND LOCAL HISTORY, MODERN FIRSTS, AND THE INTERESTING ODDITIES ONE GATHERS IN 20 YEARS OF BOOKSELLING.

OUR BOOK BARN (AND BINDERY) WELCOMES INTREPID VISITORS, BUT BE WARNED THAT A RUDIMENTARY ROAD UP OUR STEEP HILL, SEVERAL FARM GATES, AND OCCASIONAL HERDS OF COWS OR SHEEP HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DETER THE FAINT-HEARTED VISITOR. IT'S WORTH IT, WITH THE FINEST VIEW IN PERTHSHIRE, WHEN YOU GET HERE.
