CALLANDER, police burgh and parish, Perthshire, Scot land, 16 m. north-west of Stirling by the L.M.S.R. Pop. (1931), 1,572. 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 repute as a health resort, and there is a large hydro on the south side of the river. A mile and a half north-east are the Falls of Bracklinn (Gael. "white-foaming pool"), while two miles north west is the Pass of Leny. Callander owes much of its prosperity to the fact that it is the centre from which the Trossachs is usually visited, the route being that described in Scott's Lady of the Lake. The ascent of Ben Ledi is commonly made from the town.
