Subject notes
The extent of the beach suggests the water level on this day in late June was some way below maximum. The Carron Valley was dammed and flooded by Stirlingshire and Falkirk Water Board in the 1930s. Demand for water in the Falkirk area was high, due to the large number of iron foundries.
