In Memorium
David R Ross
Author and broadcaster
1958 - 2010
David is best known for his books on William Wallace, Robert the Bruce
and Bonnie Prince Charlie. His unique style informed and educated the
reader not only about the subject, but also how to travel to the sites
connected with them. With his trusty large motorbike he travelled
Scotland, England, Ireland , Italy and Spain in his research to fill those
books . His broadcasting and speaking career took him regularly to
Canada and the United States as well as the UK.
Fire and Sword`s first ever public engagement was to support David`s first
book "On the Trail of William Wallace" (Luath Press) at the Burn Braes ,
Biggar, South Lanarkshire and subsequently were pictured on the back of
his next book "On the Trail of Robert the Bruce". David always promoted
Fire and Sword wherever he went and we are truly indebted to him for his
patronage. We will treasure our time with David over the last 15 years and
in particular our first gig at Biggar and our last one with him in East
Kilbride last November.
David...it`s been a blast !
