  1. The Patron Saint of this Parish

    Share Share Post
    The patron Saint of Carron parish is Saint Cronan. There is a well in this parish in Tarmon called Saint Cronan's Well. This well is a cure for sore eyes and if you go to it on a Monday and two Thursdays or two Mondays and a Thursday and to do rounds there your eyes will be cured of their soreness. He was buried in Carron but I do not know where he was buried in it. Some people say that it is in Glan-Colmcille he was buried but I do not know which place was he buried in.
