She was the daughter of Mary Sinclair, and James Cameron, a Glasgow engineer and was born in Glasgow on 10 May 1897. After attending school at Strathaven she studied history at the University of Glasgow, being awarded a first class honours in 1919.[1] She then wrote a doctoral thesis on Bishop Kennedy of St Andrews at the University of Edinburgh which was awarded on 17 July 1924.[2]
Cameron worked at the Scottish Record Office and in 1938 married George Dunlop, proprietor of the Kilmarnock Standard.[3] In 1944 she is recorded as being a part-time lecturer in Scottish History at the University of Edinburgh.[4]
Marcus Merriman, a historian of the Rough Wooing, acknowledged Annie Cameron, Marguerite Wood, and Gladys Dickinson for their work publishing 16th-century primary sources. He praised Cameron for her "stunning" edition of the Scottish correspondence of Mary of Guise, "placing in the hands of the researcher something formidably useful."[5]
