JANETOWN, a village, in the parish of LochcarRON,
county of Ross and Cromarty, 1 mile (S.) from
Lochcarron; containing 513 inhabitants. It is situated
on the eastern shore of the Carron loch, an arm of the
sea, into which the Carron water falls about two miles
northward of the village. From a very small hamlet
consisting of only three families, it has risen latterly
into comparative importance, in consequence, principally,
of the division of land into lots. The high road
leading from Dingwall to the western coast passes
through; and there is a post-office, where the mails
arrive three times a week. On the Carron is a good
salmon-fishery.
