2. Ben A'an

Ben A’an is a great hike, it probably took us 1hr 30 up with a few stops and similar back down. It has quite a steep incline so bear that in mind, however the views at the summit are spectacular! Definitely worth a visit. Note** if parking make sure to get there early as on weekends it gets very busy after 9:30am and nowhere to park on the roads. Also bring midgy repellent it was full of them!
3. McQueen Gin

Trossachs Distillery in Callander, Scotland, is the home of multi award winning McQueen Gin – the brainchild of Dale & Vicky McQueen. Established July 2015, McQueen Gin launched in June 2016, with 4 world first botanical gins – Sweet Citrus, Smokey Chilli, Mocha and Chocolate Mint. In November 2016 we launched our flagship gin – Super Premium Dry, which then went on to win Double Gold in San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2017. March 2017 we launched Spiced Chocolate Orange, the 6th gin in our core collection. Since then we have created many more gins, available in various supermarkets and our Distillery shop. Every batch created, is made with the same passion and commitment to excellence as the very first one. Please come and visit us https://mcqueengin.co.uk/distillery-and-tours/

Our family (5 adults) visited the distillery on Friday. The staff were great and even offered to come and collect us due to bad weather. Stuart gave us a tour of the distillery, followed by a tasting of various different gins with Vicki, one of the founders of the business. The distillery is the perfect size to get up close and see everything in action and it was fascinating to hear all about how Vicki & Dale have created the business in only 4 years. Would definitely recommend a visit. And the chilli gin with ginger beer!

5. Lady Kentmores Antiques
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 34 reviews
Lady Kentmores is an Antique shop with a difference, we stock all those normal antique shop stalwarts from fine porcelain to jewellery but we also are proud to deal in the more unusual side of the trade too from shrunken heads and medical oddities to fairground antiques.This is because owner George Johnson ( TV antiques expert, writer & treasure hunter) has a mission to bring a bit of fun & showmanship to the antiques trade,Every corner of the shop is jam packed with items of curiosity and interest, it is because of this that the shop has featured on television and in the press many times. The shop has also made the finals of the BBC Home & Antiques Best Antiques Shop in the UK!That's not a bad recommendation to have.

This quirky antiques shop may just be my favourite thing about Callander! Yes it's small but it's crammed full of the most wonderful treasures, everywhere you look there's another quirky curio. The small museum, which only costs a measly pound entrance fee, is full of the weirdest items, from taxidermy to vintage medical items, a laughing chimpanzee to redcoat skulls. Absolutely fascinating! And to top it all off there's a Rob Roy display with a 20min video on a loop. Visit, it's not disappointing!

After being let loose from stay at home regulations, we drove up to loch lubnaig and parked at the picnic area where it was very quiet. Had a wee picnic with us which we consumed whilst watching the world go by. We managed to get some lovely sunny weather but really cold wind and intermittent snow showers but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
9. Loch Venachar

Reviewed By Ferguson-Lamb - Glasgow, United Kingdom
We went wild camping on loch venachar and had a wonderful time. We got a camping permit (only costing £3) for campsite B, which you need to camp on Loch Lomond and Trossachs camping management zones. It was a great campsite, wonderful view of loch, and has a car park next to the campsite which was extremely convenient. The campsite itself has several spots under trees so you are quite sheltered even if it begins to rain, but still have a lovely view of the loch. There are lots of walks nearby, and some lovely restaurants that are dog friendly. If you’re looking for a wild camping spot I would highly recommend as it’s a great site, much quieter and less touristy than Loch Lomond can be. We took our kayak out on the loch, which was easy to do, as the car park as easy access to the waters edge. Definitely worth a visit and we will 100% be back!
10. Samson's Putting Stone

Reviewed By D4297OHdavidc
It is not a glacial erratic, there is an almost identical stone some 25 miles away at Crieff, (mica schist on conglomerate) which is at the centre of 29 ancient sites and has a carved footprint and water basin on top. Both stones are on top of the Highland Boundary Fault and both are 350 yards away from vitrified forts. The forts themselves are on top of the HBF.
