Alexander Ross was born in Forfarshire, the son of the architect James Ross. The family moved to Inverness in 1842 and Ross studied at Bell's Institution, now Inverness Library. He followed in his father's footsteps becoming a renowned architect throughout the Highlands. He designed more than 650 buildings. Two of the best known are St Andrew's Episcopal Cathedral and the Free North Church in Inverness. Ross joined Inverness Town Council in 1881 and served as provost from 1889 to 1895. He was a director of a number of companies and public bodies. He also helped found the Inverness Scientific Society and Field Club and presided over the Inverness Architectural Association from 1917 to 1920.
