Fishing, watersport, cycling, walking or Golf, the Trossachs is a great place to be for those who are interested in the more energetic things in life, and Callander is a great place to start. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park is an area where the scenery is at it's best when cycling or walking. Some parts have a atmosphere of quiet and beauty; others a wild ruggedness. Every part of the Trossachs has something to offer. Whether you are very fit and energetic or just moderately lazy like the rest of us there is something to suit you in this beautiful area.
Don't forget to be suitably dressed for Scottish weather.

Cycling the Trossachs and Callander
Mountain biking and cycling in The Trossachs is by far the best way of seeing the area. Apart from main road cycling, which is not much fun, there is a variety of cycle routes here to satisfy most tastes. For starters, there is the recently completed cycleway formed by the track bed of the old Dunblane to Oban railway, now complete from Callander to Glen Dochart. There are gentle forest routes and arduous mountain tracks. See the 'cycling' page for more details.

Golf in the Trossachs
Callander Golf Club. . Probably the most scenic course in Scotland. It is no accident that Golf Monthly rated Callander among the top ten courses in Scotland for visitors, alongside Gleneagles, Turnberry and St. Andrews. Peter MacMichael describes Callander as 'great fun to play'.
Fishing the Trossachs near Callander
Fishing is not one of my great interests although I used to to a bit of trout fishing as a teenager. That said, I do know enough about the sport to tell you that with such a variety of lochs and rivers in the area, most anglers will find some very rewarding waters around the Trossachs. See the 'fishing' page for information.
Fishing Loch Katrine for Trout and Pike
Until recently fishing was unavailable on Loch Katrine but in 2010 Loch Katrine Fisheries opened at Stronachlachar near the west end of the loch to enable trout and pike fishing on the loch with the convenience of electric powered boats. More information on the Loch Katrine Fisheries page.
