Her mother was a member of the Smalls of Dirnanean of Perthshire, Scotland. Cameron was the younger sister of Flora Macaulay, editor of ''The Oban Times'' newspaper. Cameron showed an early inclination towards art and studied in Edinburgh and Paris.〔 She took classes at the Edinburgh Veterinary College to perfect her understanding of animal anatomy, including horses.〔 She painted many Spanish scenes, particularly bullfights,〔 and lived for a time in Madrid and Seville. She generated controversy in her native Scotland over her realistic portrayal of the sometimes brutal bullfighting scenes. Cameron was a member of the Edinburgh Ladies' Art Club and later involved with the Royal Scottish Academy. She exhibited fifty-six works at the Royal Scottish Academy between 1886 and 1919.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mctears.co.uk/auctions/lot.aspx?id=0ad5a204-431c-4d7f-8b1f-662c3d89fdf7&page=1&referrer=browse )〕 Her painting, ''Portrait de Mme. Blair et ses borzois'' received a "Mention Honorable" at The Paris Salon in 1904. The winning portrait depicted her sister Flora seated with her two Russian Borzoi dogs at either side.〔 The painting, along with one of Cameron's Spanish paintings, were published in the book ''Women Painters of the World'' (1905).〔''Women Painters of the World'', (online from gutenberg.org ), pages 124, 131, 155,〕 In addition to being a talented artist, Cameron was also a capable linguist.〔 Cameron was able to speak French and Spanish fluently.〔 She also had a good knowledge of German and Italian, and knew enough Russian to read and translate it.〔 Mary Cameron was the wife of Alexis Millar, a horse dealer and jobmaster in Edinburgh. The couple were married at St Martin-in-the-Fields in London on 30 June 1905.〔 Mary Cameron died at Turnhouse, a hamlet immediately west of the Edinburgh city boundary (now the site of Edinburgh Airport), on 15 February 1921, and is buried in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh.
