Callander is a small town in the council area of Stirling, Scotland, situated on the River Teith. The town of Callander is located in the historic county of Perthshire and is a popular tourist stop to and from the Highlands.
Callander serves as the eastern gateway to the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, the first National Park in Scotland, and is often referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands. The former St. Kessog's Church is now The Clanranald Trust for Scotland head office.
Dominating the town to the north are the Callander Crags, a visible part of the Highland Boundary Fault, rising to 343 m at the cairn. Ben Ledi (879 m) lies north-west of Callander. Local walks include Bracklinn Falls, The Meadows, Callander Crags and the Wood Walks. The town sits on the Trossachs Bird of Prey Trail. The River Teith is formed from the confluence of two smaller rivers, the Garbh Uisge (River Leny) and Eas Gobhain about half a mile west of the bridge at Callander.
Founded in 1892, McLaren High School educates pupils aged 11 to 18 from a wide catchment area extending as far as Killin, Tyndrum and Inversnaid. Callander achieved prominence during the 1960s as the fictional setting Tannochbrae in the BBC television series Dr. Finlay's Casebook.
Callander was served by rail from 1 July 1858 as the terminus of a branch line from Dunblane. A second Callander railway station was opened about 1⁄2 mile (800 m) to the west, behind the Dreadnought Hotel, on 1 June 1870 when the railway was extended to Killin en route to Oban, and closed on 5 November 1965. Sections of this former Callander and Oban Railway line, between Callander and Strathyre and between Balquhidder and Killin Junction.

Callander to Strathyre Cycle - National Route 7
Had a lovely day out along the cycle route between Callander and Strathyre, Scotland, roughly a 18 mile round trip.
National Cycle Network Route 7 Rob Roy Way Guide Callander Lochearnhead Glen Ogle Killin
Intended as a one-off ride and video, this turned out to be first in a growing series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery
**UPDATE 4 June 2016. The sometimes muddy 2 miles beside the Falls of Leny is now supersmooth tarmac. Nice. The steep rocky hairpins 1 mile south of Strathyre are still impossible except on an mtb. That's my vote for the next improvement. **.
Cycling in Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park – the Rob Roy Way - Callander to Killin via Falls of Leny, Loch Lubnaig, Strathyre, Lochearnhead and Glen Ogle Viaduct – and a return trip via Balquhidder. Total distance 47 miles round trip (44 if you exclude Balquhidder on the return)
If like me you’ve driven up the A85 to Killin, and spotted cyclists on the Glen Ogle viaduct and wondered what its like, or maybe you are planning a holiday in Scotland are looking for a Scenic off road cycle route - this video is for you.
It answers all the essentials about the route:
What’s the gradient like- how steep?
How high?
How far?
What’s the surface like - tarmac, light/heavy gravel, dirt?
Do I need a mountain bike? Can I rollerblade on any of it?

Edited with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13. No stabilisation (it cuts the field of view). Unfortunately this is resulting in really bad Youtube compression artifacts after upload - Maybe try chest mount next time.
Chest mount didn't help ... but a helpful comment on another video did ... disabling resampling in the editor has removed ghosting and pretty sure has reduced the bits needed for a clear picture. Too late for this one but good for the others.

Cycled with a Specialized Allez Elite road bike with 23c mondo slicks– NOT recommended, but bike was OK.
All distances and altitudes approximate (Runtastic and Google Earth respectively)
Look out for the wooley jumper at the end.
Thanks fro reading the description :-)
Railway Walks Full Episode 6 : Gateway to the Highlands - Callender - Callender to Loch Tay
In this episode, Julia faces an epic walk, in more ways than one. Not only is this the longest and arguably most dramatic walk yet, but it passes through the unruly territory of Scottish clans and Rob Roy. The Highlands were a place to be wary of, until the railway arrived.

Loch Lubnaig, Callander & Tyndrum
Loch Lubnaig between Callander and Strathyre is one of the smaller lochs in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. It lies in the glaciated glen between Ben Ledi and Ardnandave.
It is fed by the river Balvaig at its northern end and empties into the river long.
Tyndrum is a small village and is notable mainly for being at a junction of transport routes. It is on the West Highland Way, and has a campside, hotel, bunkhouse and bed and breakfasts to accommodate walkers.
Overshadowed by Ben Lui, a Munro, Tyndrum is built over the battlefield where Clan MacDougall defeated Robert the Bruce in AD 1306, and took from him the Brooch of Lorn.
Tyndrum is also a former mining centre. The hamlet of Clifton (the row of cottages across the A82 from the Green Welly) is made up of the former mining cottages, and up the hillside beyond them the tailing of a former lead mine can be seen. The gold mine is two miles o the south and west of Tyndrum at Cononish, above Cononish Farm. Work on constructing the mine began in the
1980's but low gold prices forced the closure of the mine before it became fully operational. In October 2011 it was announced that the mine would be reactivated.

Balquidder, Kirton Glen, Stirlingshire.
After visiting Rob Roy's grave we had a walk up nearby Kirton Glen. The name 'Balquidder' comes from the Gaelic meaning 'the distant farm'.
Formartine & Buchan Way Upgrade
The F&BW is now resurfaced all the way from near Parkhill Sawmill to Dyce. There is also new street-lighting in the Southern part. This is a big improvement compared to what it used to be like (see some of my earlier videos).

Cycle Ride through Glen Ogle (Part 1)

Glen Ogle Viaduct
Glen Ogle Viaduct is a 12 arch single track viaduct in Glen Ogle running along the steep eastern hillside of Meall Reamhar and Scorrach Nuadh. The viaduct travels out from the hillside and then rejoins it. To the immediate south is a three arch viaduct. The line very much travels on a shelf cut into the hillside between Balquhidder and Glenoglehead. No longer in use, it is now a fabulous walk and bike trail, just 2 miles from Lochearnhead.

Cycling Glenogle to Balquhidder in Stirlingshire National Cycle Route 7
This was a great route to do with young kids as it was mostly downhill. We left cars at each end and cycled down from the car park at the top of Glenogle down the old railway line past Lochearnhead and on to Balquhidder.
(not quite!) Falls of Glomach 1st August 2016
Sunday Walks with Jane episode 1 - Glenogle
Glenogle Viaduct - Jane Mitchell does a railway walk from Lochearnhead to Glenogle viaduct then back to Lochearnhead viaduct which had a span replaced in 2000 to reinstate it. This is now part of Cycle Route 7.
100 Mile Cycle (On a mountain bike) - Part 1
First part of my video diary of a 100 mile cycle on a mountain bike. I had been wanting to do 100 miles on the bike for a while, but hadn't found the time to do it until now. The route I cycled took me through Braco, Muthill, Crieff, Gilmerton, Amulree, Milton, Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Killin, Balquhidder, Callander, Doune and back to Dunblane - about 103 miles all told. Most of this was road cycling, but about 20 miles or so was done on the popular Cycle Route 7.
The bike was a Cannondale F5 disc - will start saving for a decent road bike now! Video done on the Canon Ixus 100. There seems to be a bit of audio sync issue on these two videos, Youtube not liking my H.264/AAC upload as per usual...
