Neighbourhoods
Callander is nestled in Scotlands first National Park. It is a small vibrant and bustling village. In the summer months you can hear the bagpipes being played in the town square. It has some amazing hillwalking and sightseeing. It can be busy in the Summer months with tourists but you can always retreat to the sanctuary of Highland View for a rest and to people watch from the window.

What to pack
Scottish Weather
Scottish weather can be unpredictable and its not the place if you want a sun tan - although we do have our sunny days.
Quite often it will rain in Scotland but that should not put you off. Pack a lightweight rain coat and be prepared for all sorts of weather . Layering is best. If you plan to walk a sturdy pair of boots is great. Dont expect it to be warm and sunny in the Summer but do expect a lot of fun and the most amazing views.
