David R. Ross tragically passed away on 2nd January 2010.
 
Scotland has lost one of her finest sons.  He was a giant of a man in so many more ways than his physical stature. No man loved his country more and he made sure everybody knew it with an incredible passion for both its history and its future.     He had so much more he wanted to do, so many plans. We can never replace his presence, knowledge and friendship but through his books, words and actions he left a legacy that continues to inspire thousands of people to acknowledge Scotland as a nation, who we are as a people, and to share in his dreams. It now falls on us to carry these dreams forward.  
Sleep well Big Davie  - we will not let you down.  
 
in the words of david R. Ross:
“I stand before this flag. The white Saltire of St Andrew in the blue summers’ sky.
It represents the soil from which I sprang, and to which, one day, I must return.
It represents Scotland.
As it was. As it is. As it always will be.”
