Recenter Map To This Location

The area of low mountains and serene lakes around Callander, a most attractive town, is known as The Trossachs. This is the country of Sir Walter Scott’s novel Rob Roy and his poem Lady of the Lake. Robert MacGregor, “Rob Roy,” existed as a romanticized 17th-century Robin Hood, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. However, some regarded him more realistically as a thief and rustler! Scott’s “lady” was Ellen Douglas, and her “lake” was Loch Katrine. There are several lovely lakes to view in this area, such as Loch Achray and Loch Venachar.
