Initially it used ironstone mined along the Firth of Forth at Bo’ness, and brought by water to Carron. Coal was also plentiful nearby. The tall blast furnaces made a distinctive contribution to the landscape and clouds of smoke towered over Carron for 200 years. A supply of cheap iron made possible a huge range of agricultural and industrial changes. Iron was used for ploughs, spades, shovels, steam boilers, steam engines and many other essential things.
