- (continued from previous page)Population of Ross is about 300
In the year 1837 the population was 8,714. And I often heard that about that time it carried on an extensive trade in Weaving and some weavers kept as many as twenty journey-men and apprentices. Down to about fifty years ago weaving was still going on, but since then has declined and at the present time not one weaver is at work there. All the wool is brought here to Ré-na-Scríne and tweeds flannels etc manufactured.
