Walk: Callander - crag & cascade
Stirling | Callander | Half day walk | ★★★★
[Looking down on Callander from the crags, inversion fog creeping up from the Central Belt beyond] |
Just above the bustling tourist town of Callander lie Callander Crags, with spectacular views of the Trossachs hills, lochs and forests from the top. Combine them with a visit to Bracklinn Falls (best in spate) with its striking modern footbridge for a great half-day circuit, and consider yourself unlucky if you don't spot a red squirrel or two.

Interesting bridge architecture, especially for being in a remote setting. Very nice photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brendan. I agree - I think it definitely adds something to the setting. Apparently it was built in 2010, so it's fairly new.
