I live in Ross and find that it has gone down hill since I last visited a few year prior, They don't really add much to the collection and the staff don't seem overly approachable. Worth a visit if you want to know more about Ross's past. Happy Traveling

rather lack lustre and no real tourist information I get the feeling it doesn't really know what its meant to be. Staff need more training. I preferred as it used to be.

Don't miss the chance to go upstairs - there are really interesting displays and a lovely balcony view over the town. But the building is well worth walking to see even if the Visitor Centre is closed!

I had a meeting in Ross, and arriving early thought I would burn off some time in the market house. The stairs up to it are old ( and therefore steep) but it is definitely worth the visit with lots about the history of ross, ranging from the towns rat catcher to the man whose claim to fame was Downing...
