[2] Roy was educated at the University of Edinburgh where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1970.

[1] Starting in 1990, Roy became Rector of Inverkeithing High School, being awarded with a CBE for his work there in 2004.

Following the victory at a by-election of the Scottish National Party in the parliamentary constituency of Glasgow East earlier that year, despite Fife not having a history of such spectacular landslide swings to the SNP in the past as in the West of Scotland, it had been expected that Labour would lose the by-election; however, the Labour Party held the seat, increasing their total vote slightly, albeit with a reduced majority.
