Thomas Ross was born at Wardheads, Errol, and attended local schools before going to Glasgow around 1855 to work as an assistant to architect Alexander Kirkland.
In 1862 he began as an assistant to David MacGibbon in Edinburgh, and was made a partner in the firm of MacGibbon and Ross in 1872. Ross began sketching the architecture of Scotland along with his senior partner, contributing to the latter's public lectures, and culminating in the pair's major publications.

The so-called 'Mint' or town-house of the Knights Hospitallers in Linlithgow was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. It was demolished in the late 19th century.

Linlithgow is a Royal Burgh in West Lothian, Scotland.
