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 !
