About the author
Born on November 10, 1839, in Errol, Perthshire, Thomas Ross was a Scottish architect and architectural historian. He worked in partnership with David MacGibbon, and together they built a reputation for careful, wide-ranging studies of Scotland's historic buildings.
Ross is best remembered for the major survey books he helped produce on Scotland's castellated, domestic, and ecclesiastical architecture, along with work on Scottish armorial bearings and sundials. His writing and research helped preserve knowledge of buildings that might otherwise have been overlooked.
He died on December 4, 1930. Although he is sometimes listed simply as an architect, his real legacy is as a patient recorder of Scotland's architectural heritage.
