05 June 1999 David Ross's book On the Trail of William Wallace was launched at the Smith Museum and Art Gallery in Stirling on Friday 19th February, 1999. Mr Ross has proved that Wallace studies are in fact in their infancy. He can trace his family tree back to the 1950's. For as long as he can remember he has had a passion for Scotland, its landscape, its traditions and its history.
Every free moment is spent stravaiging around historic sites, battlefields, and castles.
He is a keen motorcyclist, as many x-rays can prove. He is looking forward to all the arguments that will take place in the forthcoming Scottish Parliament, showing that the Scots never change. He is 6ft 5in and naturally blond, although he is developing a distinguished touch of grey around the edges. He also has the audacity to think he looks the business in a kilt. His life is an ongoing quest for the truth, as if personally burdened by the bitter-sweet legacy of Wallace.
