David Thomas Rose was born in the Scottish Borders and brought up in Nairn.
His first job took him to Glasgow in 1896 where he studied in night classes in Glasgow Academy of Art.
Family summer holidays were mostly taken in Scotland. His sister became a eminent obstetrician, working in Edinburgh and the Roses would often stay with her in Joppa or with other family in Fife. While there in 1933 Rose sketched prolifically, especially in the Dean Village and Leith Docks.
Craigmillar Castle stands on land bought by the Preston family in the late 14th century. The keep dates from the early 15th century, but much of the rest of the Castle was rebuilt after it was burned by the Earl of Hertford in 1544. Mary Queen of Scots was a regular visitor. Craigmillar Castle is now managed by Historic Environment Scotland. It is one of the key sites of historical interest in Edinburgh.
