Callander is situated on the A84 road from Stirling to Oban approximately 14 miles from Stirling. (map)
The cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily reached by car in just over an hour, or by rail from Stirling or Dunblane in about the same time. A frequent bus service operates from Stirling to Callander and also beyond Callander to Oban and Fort William.
Callander is a very popular, but peaceful holiday destination, and has been a popular holiday spot since the opening of the old Oban railway line in the time of Queen Victoria. Close to Strathyre and aberfoyle in the trossachs it's well worth a visit.
