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.
The truncated ends of the closes altered during the creation of Cockburn Street were remodelled in the Scots baronial style.
