In days gone by, Callander was of strategic importance, controlling two routes from the Lowlands to the Highlands. Today this position provides great advantage to the visitor allowing access to much of Argyll and Perthshire using the village as a central base.
Oban, Fort William, Glencoe, Pitlochry, Perth, Stirling, St Andrews, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all within day visiting distance, allowing return to Callander in time for evening meal. Nearby we have the Lochs and Hills of the Trossachs, an area of outstanding natural beauty which, notwithstanding it's attractions and accessibility, still offers peace and tranquility.
