CALLANDER

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 55 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALLANDER , a police
burgh
  of Perthshire,
Scotland
 , 16 m. north-west of Stirling by the Caledonian railway. Pop. (1901) 1458. Situated on the north bank of the Teith, here crossed by a three-arched
bridge
 , and sheltered by a
ridge
  of wooded hills, it is in growing repute as a
health
  resort. A mile and a half north-
east
  are the Falls of Bracklinn (Gaelic, "white-foaming pool"), formed by the Keltie, which takes a leap of 50 ft. down the red
sandstone
  gorge on its way to the Teith. Two miles north-west of Callander is the Pass of Leny, " the gate of the Highlands," and farther in the same direction is Loch Lubnaig, on the shores of which stand the ruins of St
Bride
 's chapel. Callander owes much of its prosperity to the fact that it is the centre from which the Trossachs is usually visited, the route being thatdescribed in Scott's Lady of the Lake. The ascent of Ben Ledi is commonly made from the town.
