A keen sportswoman, Smith played club cricket for many years, but was not given an opportunity to play at a higher level until 2000, when the Scottish national side was reassembled for the first time since 1979.〔(Women's miscellaneous matches played by Liz Smith ) – CricketArchive.

She had begun the task in 1982, with a climb of Ben Nevis, and after entering parliament used her climbs to raise funds for charity.〔Dave Hewitt (6 July 2012).
