022.11 ; 022.12 ; 023.06 ; 023.09 ; 023.10 | A Small, & for the first half of its course, rapid stream, which takes its rise from moss water in the parish of Fintry, and after a winding Course of about fifteen Miles, it falls into the Firth of Forth at Grangemouth. It is navigable for vessels of small size as far as Carron Shore, which place is Situate about 2 miles above its Confluence with the Forth. As far as it forms the Southern boundary of this parish, its banks are, in general, steep and for the most part, has a rocKy bed. For a considerable distance from its Source, the Stream is but Small, and Scarce deserves the notice of a traveller; yet there is no river in Scotland, And few in the whole island of Britain, whose banks have been the stage of so many memorable transactions. When the Roman empire was in all its glory, and had its eastern frontiers upon the Euphrates, the banks of Carron were its boundaries upon the North-West; for the Wall of Antoninus, which was raised to mark the limits of that mighty empire Stood in the neghbourhood of this river, And ran parallel to it for many miles. Two miles below Graham's Castle we meet with a natural curiosity. The river in a course of ages, having worn out to itself an hollow channel in a rock, forms a beautiful cascade, by pouring its contracted stream all at once over a precipice above 20 feet in height, which goes by the name of Auchin-lilly-lin-Spout. This cataract is little Known, as it is in a very remote and unfrequented Valley. Nimmo's History corrected by the Revd [Reverend] William Macgregor. |
