Ramsay competed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where she won a bronze medal in the 57 kg event.[4]

Political career

Ramsay entered the by-election for Tain and Easter Ross in the Highland Council, competing with the Scottish Liberal Democrats.[5] She cited opposition to the closure of the Tain Royal Academy Community Complex (TRACC) as her reasoning to enter politics, along with improving roads, public transport, and access to NHS services. She had the endorsement of local House of Commons MP Jamie Stone, himself a former councillor for Tain and Easter Ross word. Ramsay won the by-election after 6 stages with 935 first preference votes, or 38.8% of the vote, taking a seat previously held by the Scottish National Party.[6][7]
