First used at the Carron ironworks in Scotland (operating 1759 -1982) Carron oil was mentioned by Dr. Joseph F. Montgomery in his 1872 journal Burns and Scalds: Their Treatment, with Cases. Referring to a case in 1863, he used a carron oil in the treatment of three children badly burned in an explosion. the mixture had at the time been widely used in Scotland for the treatment of burns. "Dr. Montgomery managed to apply oil and lime-water liniment. In fact, this type of oil was also being used during the same time on the other side of the world in Scotland (Lee 170). According to the British Medical Journal, lime-water liniment was often mixed with linseed oil to help with the burn and this combination became known as Carron oil in the world of burn medicine".
