I have some very sad news, Scottish icon David R. Ross has passed away. He passed on Jan 2. He is a Scottish historian, author, and just an amazing man. His wealth of knowledge will live on in his many books, and work he has done. I have included a memorial site for him.

My condolences going out to all the family and friends. David Ross touched so many people through out the entire world. He will never be forgotten. Thanks for posting these links.
A sad day for Scotland. Though I have never read any of his works I have heard of him and I will now try to obtain a copy of "on the Trail of William Wallace.
Our prayers go out to the Ross family and Clan. Albannach has a memorial page. What a great, thoughtful and active man in pursuit of self-less deeds for his country and family.
