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.
Register House is situated at the east end of Princes Street in Edinburgh. It was designed by Robert Adam as a repository for Scotland's public records. Building work began in 1774 and three sides of the quadrangle were completed by the first years of the 19th century. The north side of the quadrangle was added by Robert Reid in the 1820's and early 1830's. A statue of the Duke of Wellington was erected in front of the building in 1852.
