Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!River Carron is a river in Wester Ross, in the Highlands of Scotland.

The river rises in Ledgowan Forest. It gathers its head-streams through Carron Bog, then enters Loch Scaven and flows out from there.

From Achnashellach the river meanders 19 km southwest through the broad strath of Glen Carron and expands at one part into Loch Doule (or Doughaill). About 4 km further southwest it enters the Inner Sound at the head of Loch Carron near Achintee.

The A890 and a branch of the Highland railway which extends to Kyle of Lochalsh runs along part of its southeast shore.

Stocking of juvenile salmon into the River Carron has brought this fish back from the brink of local extinction. Having made a dramatic recovery, the salmon has contributed to an improvement in the biodiversity of the whole area with kingfishers now established locally and increased numbers of ospreys visiting.
