Born in Aberdeen, Traquair began her career as a newspaper crime and court reporter. At the age of 15 she contributed to a front page story in the Scotland-only edition of The Sun, whilst on a work placement.

She joined Grampian Television (now STV North) in early 2001 as a reporter, presenter and production journalist for North Tonight.

Traquair was one of the producers of the STV crime series, Unsolved. She also hosted an update programme at the end of later series.

Traquair left STV for ITV News in November 2006, reportedly after her application for a two-month secondment to ITN had been blocked by her bosses.[1]
