David R. Ross Biography

David R. Ross is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on February 28, 1958 in Giffnock, Scotland, United Kingdom. David Robertson Ross was born on February 28, 1958, at Giffnock, East Renfrewshire. When he was five, his family relocated into East Kilbride (South Lanarkshire) and he attended Halfmerk Primary School as well as East Kilbride High, from which was graduated in 1974 having completed Six “O” levels.

In the mid-1990s, in an address in the University of Glasgow that Ross was at during the mid-1990s, the professor Dr. Elspeth King told the audience that a publication listing the locations in Scotland connected to the work of William Wallace had never been published. This prompted Ross in writing On the Trail of William Wallace and came out in the year 1999, by Scottish-based Luath Press.

Outwith the “on the trail of” series – but still linked to Scottish history and places – Ross published A Passion for Scotland in 2003, a generic (but deeply heart-felt) history of the country; Desire Lines: A Journey Around Scotland and Through Her History (2004), in which Ross guides the reader “off the beaten path” and to the less renowned corners of Scotland; For Freedom: The Last Days of William Wallace (2007) in which he recounts the last week in the life of the hero, from his capture to his execution, and the repercussions of those events in history, and James the Good: The Black Douglas, dedicated to the story of the Scottish hero and soldier, in 2008.

As William Wallace never received a funeral or a proper burial (as was then the custom for those accused of high treason), David R. Ross and The Society of William Wallace organised, on 23 August 2005 (the 700th anniversary of Wallace’s execution), a full memorial function to commemorate the life of the Scottish hero.

David R. Ross was divorced twice, as well as having a daughter, named Kimberley who was born in 1987.
