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.

Callander
is a delightful, unspoiled village standing on the banks
of the River Teith, just below the point where the River
Leny, flowing from Loch Lubnaig, joins the water from
Loch Venacher. It is a marvellous setting with Callander
Crags rising behind the village and the mighty Ben Ledi
('Hill of God') standing majestically above the Pass
of Leny to the West.
