A proud son of Leith, Ross Wilson aka Blue Rose Code writes songs straight from – and to - the heart. They address universal themes of love, loss, travel, home, accepting the past and embracing the future in a deeply personal way and seamlessly blend folk, Americana, jazz, soul and pop influences into something truly unique.

His fifth and most recent album, With Healings Of The Deepest Kind was released in 2020 to huge acclaim. Taking his emotional honesty to new levels, it’s the most fully realised expression of his singular vision to date. Its predecessor, The Water Of Leith was The Skinny’s Scottish Album Of The Year. Scottish Album Of The Year. It was also nominated for both the SAY (Scottish Album of the Year) award and SAMA (Scottish Alternative Music Award). Blue Rose Code will celebrate ten years since the release of the debut album North Ten in 2023

A magnetic performer who loves to connect with his audience, Ross and Blue Rose Code are now firmly established as one of Scotland’s most uplifting and powerful live bands.

"Ross' songwriting and expressive performance are simply breathtaking. With Healings Of The Deepest Kind is an album classic.” Louder Than War

"An album touched with genius, toiled with experience and, ultimately, suffused with healing." Blabber’n’Smoke
