Isla Traquair

Traquair moved to Canada in January 2011. She is the host of Buy.o.logic which is filmed in British Columbia and airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The 13-part first series aired in Spring and Summer 2012.

In 2009, The Scotland on Sunday named Traquair the second most eligible woman in Scotland.

Traquair left ITN to join Five News as a news correspondent and presenter. In June 2008 it was announced that she and Matt Barbet would stand-in for Natasha Kaplinsky whilst she was on maternity leave. Traquair continued to be the anchor of the 7:00 pm news programme after Kaplinsky's return. After Traquair left Five News, the slot was taken over by a chat show.

Traquair separated from her husband in 2007 and later divorced.

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. She became a national correspondent in London covering stories all over Europe.

In 2005 Traquair and four colleagues took part in a ten-day challenge through the dense Sangklaburi jungle in Thailand. They raised almost £30,000 for Children's Hospice Association Scotland and Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres. The team were trained by an ex-marine for several months prior to the trek in order to get fit enough for the gruelling challenge.

Traquair joined Grampian Television (now STV North) in early 2001 as a reporter, presenter and producer for North Tonight, Grampian Headlines, Grampian News and North Today.

In 1996, after cutting short her final year at school, Traquair was selected from hundreds of entrants to take part in an in-house training scheme with Aberdeen Journals. She stayed with the newspaper group for nearly five years; for the last two she was the crime and court reporter for local Aberdeenshire broadsheet The Press and Journal.

Isla Traquair (born 1 January 1980) is a Scottish television host, producer and journalist. She has worked with STV, Channel 5, and ITN. She is currently based between the UK and North America where she is the host of the TV show Buy.o.logic on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Traquair was born in Aberdeen on New Year's Day 1980 to parents Ian Traquair, a software developer, and Maureen Traquair, a school teacher. She has 3 brothers. She is the great great granddaughter of Phoebe Anna Traquair, the first important professional woman artist of modern Scotland.
