Tea and a Talk - The River Carron with Geoff Bailey

£5.35
The River Carron was a major waterway which disrupted travel to the north and was often impassable in the winter. It consequently played an important part in Scottish history. Fords could be treacherous and bridges were expensive. Over the centuries better crossings were added and now we cross the water hardly noticing it.
The river had been used as an inland navigation and Carronshore was a busy port, latterly serving the Carron Iron Works. These were the days of smuggling and press gangs. Ships sailing from Carronshore carried carronades for self defence which in turn promoted the sale of these products. The talk will cover all of the topics and more.
