scothunter 12,609 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Where do we begin mate lol Callander is a nice area you have strathyre and can go up round loch earnhead. Plenty spots around the loch for over nite parking. Can also have a wee open fire they don't mind. The sights are stunning in that area. Few wee pubs that do bar lunches. Just along the road from the loch there village comrie cpl of camping sites there. Loads of good areas but I know that one particularly well you wouldn't be disappointed mate. Whatever you do stay away from fife lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Few year back my mates were coming back from the fishing, stopped in Callander and got a chippie. They went into the amusement arcade and guess who they bumped into playing a bandit. Prince William non the less. Chatted away ok they said. He did decline when my mate asked for his autograph though lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
