Carron (Scottish Gaelic: Carrann) is a small village on the north bank of the River Spey in Moray, Scotland.[1][2]
It was the site of an old distillery, the Imperial Distillery until the distillery closed in 1998 and was mothballed.
In 2015, a new distillery, Dalmunach opened in the village.[3]

Carron had a station on the Strathspey Railway, until the line closed in the 1960s. The railway line has since become the Speyside Way long-distance path.
