Callander travel guide

A recommended local walk is to Bracklinn Falls, reached by a woodland trail which leads from Bracklinn Road. At the time of writing this is not a circular walk as a wooden bridge has been washed away. Normally, it’s about 30 minutes’ walk each way. Another trail from Bracklinn Road leads up to Callander Crags, from where there are great views of the surrounding area. Allow 1½ hours there and back. The most challenging walk in the area is to the summit of Ben Ledi (2857 ft), but it’s a tough climb and you’ll need to be fit, experienced and prepared. Ask at the TIC for further information and for maps.

Two miles north of Callander, on the A84 route to the Highlands, are the Falls of Leny, in the narrow and dramatic Pass of Leny. The falls are accessible from the car park by the roadside or via the Callander to Strathyre Cycleway (Route 7), which follows the old train line to Oban, from Callander north along the west bank of Loch Lubnaig. This forms part of the Glasgow to Killin Cycleway, which runs from the centre of Glasgow, via Balloch, Aberfoyle, Callander, Balquhidder and Lochearnhead, to Killin.
