Callastraid - sleeps 4

Callander, in the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park in Scotland is a lively and bustling highland town & tourist resort. The largest town in the National Park, it has a great range of shops, gift shops, woollen shops and amenities.

You'll find Callander in Scotland on the UK map about 15 miles north west of Stirling on the edge of the highlands at the southern end of the Pass of Leny. On the edge of the Highlands this photographer's dream of mountain scenery and lochs to east, west and north and south, has convenient easy access to and from the main cities and tourist attractions of the central belt.

The Trossachs are a small area between Ben A'an and Ben Venue, and Lochs Katrine and Achray. More recently, the term has been used to define the whole of the area from Callander to Lochs Katrine and Lomond. Whatever the definition, this beautiful area is something the visitor must not miss. Go there to sail on the SS Walter Scott, for the restaurant, the view, walk the Achray woods or up the loch or climb Ben Venue or Ben A'an. (8 mile west of Callander).

Walking: There is a huge variety of walks for all levels of fitness. Everything from a short, level exploration of the town to a full day's energetic walking in the surrounding mountains and hills

Cycling: Cycleway C7 passes through town on its way to Killin. Lots of other routes are available in woodlands and hill tracks.
