HISTORY

The Carron Company ironworks dominated the area for many, many years and is a large part of Carron's history. It was founded in 1759 and was the one that introduced a new method of smelting iron in Scotland. The company's method made use of coke instead of charcoal for their iron smelting process. By 1814, the company was believed to be the largest ironworks in Europe employing about 2,000 men.

Carronade, a short-barrelled cannon was developed by the company. They counted Boulton & Watt as suppliers and customers. They diversified their business to include plastics and stainless steel but by 1987, Carron Company became insolvent.

Although still operational, the company is now owned by Franke UK and now operates under the name Carron Phoenix. The company's headquarters still remain in Falkirk. Today, the company produces different kinds of sinks which are sold around the world.

ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES

The River Carron runs through the village and as such, offers several outdoor-related activities for everyone. If you love a rough yet scenic area, the Strathcarron area is a perfect place for you. It's also a lovely setting for a date where you can just present some Carron flowers and the scene will take care of the rest. But if you can't get flowers in Carron to give to your date, there's always the option to send flowers to Carron to your accommodation where you can plan a much more romantic date.

All that said, here's some of the attractions and activities you can do at the River Carron:
