THE daughter of a campaigner who made legal history when he asked Scotland's top court for guidance on assisted suicide paid tribute to her "brave" dad.

Gordon Ross, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2005, died in the early hours of yesterday, surrounded by his family, at the age of 67.
The grandfather-of-five had been admitted to hospital two weeks ago with pneumonia. Mr Ross died as a result of that and his other medical issues just after midnight.
The former human celebrant and TV producer has opted to donate his brain to research into Parkinson's disease.
Mr Ross, who lived in a care home in Glasgow's South Side, was described as "intelligent and caring".
His condition had deteriorated significantly in the past three years and he could no longer walk or do simple tasks.
His daughter Veronica Ross, 45, said: "We are so proud of dad.
"I've always thought of him as an intelligent and caring man and he's been so brave throughout all of this.
"He was stubbornly independent, which was great and I think that's what's kept him going all this time."
Mr Ross supported the recent Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill and served as a treasurer of 
the Humanist Society Scotland (HSS).

The family said they would wait to find out the outcome of this judgement before deciding how or if they will continue his battle.
As well as Veronica, his children Jennifer, Adam and Jon also supported his campaign.
Mr Ross was a classical music enthusiast, loved the theatre - and used to love knitting Arran jumpers.
One of his close friend's Marbeth Boyle called Mr Ross a "good man". 
The human celebrant added: "He was a very empowered man. He was a very kind man
