Club career

Hibernian
Arnot started her career at Edinburgh City and later Hutchison Vale before she joined Hibernian in January 2012.

In 2017, Arnot suffered a cruciate ligament injury, ruling her out for 14 months; on her return, she scored five goals for Hibernian in a 9–0 win against Celtic in the 2018 SWPL Cup final, retaining the title for the third straight year.

Manchester United 
On 27 June 2018, it was announced that Arnot and teammate Kirsty Smith were leaving Hibernian. Both players joined the newly formed Manchester United for the 2018–19 season. Arnot became the women's team's first goalscorer, scoring the only goal in the side's first competitive match, a 1–0 win against Liverpool in the FA Women's League Cup on 19 August. A month later, she scored her first league goal of the campaign in a 3–0 home win against Sheffield United. On 18 November 2018, Arnot scored her first United brace in a 0–5 win away to Crystal Palace.

Arnot scored her first goal of the 2019–20 season in an 11–1 League Cup home win against Leicester City on 21 November 2019.

International career

Arnot represented Scotland at Scotland under-17 and Scotland under-19 level. She made her full international debut for Scotland against Norway on 17 September 2015, when she came on as a substitute for Joanne Love. After a year out due to a cruciate ligament injury, which caused her to miss Euro 2017, Arnot was recalled to the Scotland squad in May 2018 for their World Cup qualifiers against Belarus and Poland. Arnot scored her first international goals during the 2019 Algarve Cup, scoring twice in a 4–1 win against Iceland.

In May 2019, Arnot was named in the Scotland squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, the nation's first ever appearance at the tournament.
