Old Photograph Carrongrove Paper Mill Scotland
Old photograph of Carrongrove Paper Mill by Denny located seven miles West Falkirk, Scotland. The paper mill was started by Gavin Glenny in 1825 until 1833 when he sold it to Robert Lusk. A serious fire broke out in 1841 after which the buildings were acquired by Robert MacRobbie who handed the business over to John MacRobbie on his death, in 1851 keeping the business going until 1855 when it again was sold to Robert Weir in 1858 who employed John Luke as manager who in turn procured his own paper mill at Headswood. The mill was once again up for sale being bought by John Millar in 1867 till 1875. From 1877 Carrongrove Paper Mill traded as a mill producing coated paper and board becoming part of the Inveresk Group and the last paper mill on the Carron it closed in 2006.
