As described in Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland, 1882-1885, by Francis H. Groome
The Moray township of Carron lies nearly 6 miles(10 km) south west of Craigellachie on the River Spey in what has been described as 'one of the most beautiful little glens in Scotland'. It surrounds Dailuaine Distillery which was founded in 1851 by William Mackenzie and is located close to a former railway line that now forms part of the Speyside Way. To the east is Carron House.
A page from Francis H. Groome's 'Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland' (1882-1885), the last major gazetteer produced for Scotland.
Francis H. Groome's 'Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland' (1885) is still regarded as the best single gazetteer on Scotland and remains the standard work of reference in libraries lucky enough to have a copy. Published in six volumes by Thomas Jack (Grange Publishing Works) of Edinburgh between 1882 and 1885, the Ordnance Gazetteer includes information on towns and villages, in addition to a range of geographical features. It includes statistical, biographical and historical information and provides a unique integrated record of the state of the nation at that time.
