In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Carron like this:
Carron, vil., Larbert par., Stirlingshire, near river Carron, 2 miles NW. of Falkirk, pop. 902; P.O.; the ironworks, which are very extensive, were established in 1760. Carronades, a peculiar species of ordnance, were so called from being cast here.
Carron is now part of FALKIRK Council. Click here for graphs and data of how FALKIRK has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Carron itself, go to Statistics.
