Morag Weatherston studied art at Edinburgh College of Art (1964-68) in Scotland, specializing in mural design and tapestry weaving. Following school emigrated to Canada. For a time, she taught art in New Brunswick, before relocating to Prince Edward Island in 1991.
In 1961, a group of individuals formed the Stanhope Beach Development Association (SBDA) with the purpose of promoting tourism and developing the area for its residents. After 8 years of talk and planning the dream of having a golf course in the area would turn into reality when in 1969, a group of private individuals united to begin construction. During the spring, summer, and fall months of 1969, the land off of Covehead Bay was molded into what is now a beautiful 18-hole golf course. The Stanhope Golf and Country Club Course had it`s grand opening on June 7, 1970.
