The Bridge of Ross was built in 1792 over the River Earn to link the village of Comrie with the settlement at Ross.
The bridge remains the same today. It is a large segmental, rubble built arch with low parapets. A small flood relief arch is situated on the south side. It carries an unclassified road south from the main A85 road over the river to Ross, now part of Comrie, and the village's famous Earthquake House. The bridge is distinctly hump-backed as can be seen on approach.
