Newtonmore Connections
In 2010, Ross was the victim of an April Fool's prank by a shinty website which stated that he would be switching to Kingussie's bitter rivals Newtonmore for his final season in the sport.
Ironically, given his iconic status as the Kingussie player par excellence of the last 20 years, Ronald's mother is from Newtonmore. Also his maternal grandfather, Minto Sellar, won the Camanachd Cup for Newtonmore in 1931. His father, Ian, from Kingussie, was a massive influence on his career. He also has a brother, Ian Jr. Ian was also awarded the MBE for services to shinty.

Famous quotes containing the word connections:
“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
