The local stately home

Callander House.

This belonged to the Forbes family for centuries, Mary Queen of Scots visited here on occasion, the whole estate was huge, about 2 square miles and surrounded by a 20 foot high stone wall to keep the riff-raff out, it's almost in the centre of town.

The front door.


The back door.


The bridge leading to the duck pond.






The local council now owns it all and the grounds are used for concerts and local events.
