This portrait of Arthur Ross hangs in Inverness Town House, in the Main Hall.

Born in 1849, Arthur Ross succeeded his father in a well-established painting and decorating business. He entered the Town Council in 1882, where he served as dean of guild, bailie and treasurer before being elected provost in 1901, a post he held until 1907. During his period in office the town took over the administration of Tomnahurich Cemetery and electric lighting came to the town. Provost Ross, having twice welcomed the Prince of Wales to Inverness, represented the burgh at his coronation as Edward VII.
