Callander

Callander is one of the most beautiful and famous places in Stirling ... although the landscape resembles that of a village perched high in the mountains. The city itself is situated in a natural park. The combination of the Trossachs mountains and the beautiful River Teith (teeming with salmon, which forms the basis of many of the local dishes) means that there are beautiful views. In high season, between April and September, tourists often take the road up to Glen Coe, Fort William and Loch Ness, but this gorgeous part of Scotland is worth visiting at any time of year. It was famously visited by Rob Roy and was an important place of business in the early Middle Ages.
