multiple River Carrons mixed up[edit]

There are a number of different River Carrons (and Carron Waters) in Scotland, and this article seems to be mixing up several of them. I suggest this article is split into several articles, and a disambiguation page created.

Different River Carrons:

River Carron, Wester Ross - flows through Glen Carron, and Strath Carron, then into Loch Carron
River Carron, Sutherland - flows down another Strath Carron, then into the Kyle of Sutherland / Dornoch Firth near Bonar Bridge.
River Carron, in Central Scotland - flows down Carron Valley, through Carron Valley Reservoir, and into the Firth of Forth near Grangemouth.
Carron Water, Aberdeenshire - flows into the North Sea in Stonehaven
Carron Water, Dumfriesshire -passes through Carronbridge and flows into the River Nith near Thornhill.

There is also a small village called Carron, on the bank of the River Spey near Aberlour. --Vclaw 22:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't they interconnected to some degree? What references discern one from the other? I can't split up the article without more information. Where is the above info from? Thanks. House of Scandal 00:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article is definitely wrong - The River Carron that flows down Strath (Glen) Carron does not rise on Lochnagar which is in Aberdeenshire on the other side of Scotland. Mick Knapton 17:37, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We've determined that the article has a problem. That's the easy part. Now who can fix it? It may be enough to determine what river most of the article discusses and then change or remove whatever is necessary. House of Scandal 17:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
