Hugh Rose Ross was born in Sutherland and in his teens went to the West Indies where he built up a considerable fortune. He was a colourful character, interested in agricultural reform and tree-planting projects. He is often remembered as having fought the last duel in Ross-shire over a dispute which occurred in the local council. He was one of a group of gentlemen responsible for the founding of Tain Royal Academy.
