I've only just seen this in researching the Sighthill stone circle stuff - very sad to hear. Posted in 'mysteries' as some of Prof Roy's ideas were somewhat controversial in pure archaeological terms, eg being a supporter of Alexander Thom and the Megalithic Yard.
The renowned Scottish academic and writer Archibald Edminston Roy has died in Glasgow aged 88.
Known as Archie E Roy, he was Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Glasgow University and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
During a lengthy career, he published 20 books - six of them novels. He also had an asteroid named after him and conducted research into the paranormal.
