The River Carron at Glensburgh
Just over three miles away is the Longannet power station, situated on the north bank of the Firth of Forth near Kincardine. At the time of its completion in 1970 it was the largest power station in Europe. It had a generating capacity of 2,400 megawatts, the chimney is 183 m (600 ft) in height.
Longannet power station closed on 24 March 2016 after failing to win a contract from the National Grid.

Path between the canal and the river
The current OS 50,000 and 25,000 mapping is incorrect, showing the Forth & Clyde Canal joining the River Carron to the west of the motorway, rather than running parallel but separate to the river for a further half mile or so east of the M9. This is because the canal was extended in 2014 to permit easier access from the river.
