[1] Born in Solihull, England, to Scottish parents, Pope's family moved to rural Aberdeenshire when she was still a young child.
[1] Her father was a businessman and keen art collector,[2] from whom she inherited a number of significant works such as one of Samuel Peploe's Iona paintings.
Her studies were interrupted by World War II, during which time she served with the Women's Auxiliary Air Force.
In 1946 Pope resumed her studies at Edinburgh College of Art, then undertook teacher training at Moray House.
