About the Author:

Ronald Williams was born in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in 1942. Educated at Rossall School in Lancashire, and a History Exhibitioner at Selwyn College Cambridge, he won a Trevelyan Scholarship for a thesis on the Marquis of Montrose in 1960. Between 1964 and 1979 he was a member of the Diplomatic Service and served in Jakarta, Singapore, Budapest and Nairobi. His first book, "Montrose: Cavalier in Mourning" was published in 1975. In 1980 he joined the forestry sector and in due course became Executive Director of the Forestry Industry Council of Great Britain - an occupation which allowed him to travel extensively in Scotland and pursue his interest in its history.

Ronald Williams is currently the Chief Executive of the Publishers' Association. He was appointed OBE in 1991 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (FRSA). In addition to Scottish history, he has a passion for fly-fishing and his interests include archaeology, photography, walking, travel and Real Tennis. When not in Scotland, Ronald Williams lives in a small Hampshire village in the valley of the River Test.
