After leaving the bog it flows for one half of its course amongst bleaK hills and rocKs; and on emerging from these rushes over a fine cascade called Auchinlilly linn spout. From this it continues its course eastward giving motion to several Paper Mills near Denny, and watering some large Printfields below it, and then winding through "the bonny banK o' Carron water" long since famed in song, it passes near the hill of Dunipace, and the site of the ancient Roman structure called Arthur's Oven. At Lar- bert a dam is built across the river which with the lead supplies the great reservoir at the Carron WorKs; into this reservoir almost the whole of the water goes in summer" Extract from the Gazetteer of Scotland. |
