Mary Adams (née Ritchie) (3 November 1922 – 12 July 2010) was a Scottish interceptor for Bletchley Park during World War II.
Her parents moved to Stonehaven where she attended Mackie Academy before going on to take a job as a clerk in solicitors' office.
In 1943 she signed up for the Auxiliary Territorial Service and was selected for the Royal Corps of Signals, where she was trained in receiving Morse code.
When MI6 officer Frederick Winterbotham published his book The Ultra Secret in 1974, she then felt able to mention her work.
[1][2] In 2009 Adams was presented with the Bletchley Park Commemorative Badge in recognition of her role during the war.
