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!

4. 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!
5. Scottish Real Ale Shop
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 44 reviews
A unique place in Callander situated in the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park selling over 130 different Scottish Beers by over 30 micro breweries from the Shetlands to the Borders. The largest selection of Scottish Real Ales under one roof.Our passion for Real Ale has long been established at the Lade Inn with our own exclusive house ales, but we wanted to take it one step further and become the central hub for all Scottish Bottled Ales. To make this dream a reality, we converted our old Microbrewery and the Scottish Real Ale Shop opened its doors for the first time in December 2006. We are a one stop shop for Scottish beer, Real Ale Festivals and brewing information; a place where you can purchase that elusive bottle from the Hebrides or that delicious blonde from Islay. We hold a Beer Festival every year and have tastings throughout the summer weekends so you can try before you buy!

Ordered a case of 12 different beers for delivery and am very happy with them, will certainly use this shop again. Hopefully will be able to get in and sample the restaurant on our next visit to Strathyre once lockdown is over!

8. Loch Lubnaig

Reviewed By ch00chter - Buchlyvie, United Kingdom
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
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27 reviews
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!
