Description

Carron Harbour, built around 1808, is a small tidal harbour featuring a rectangular basin. It has a slipway that is angled to the southwest and a small quay to the north. To the south, there is a coursed rubble pier, while the northern quay is made of large rubble blocks and cement render. The harbour has been updated with new concrete surfacing.
