Callander (/ˈkæləndər/; Scottish Gaelic: Calasraid) is a small town in the region of Stirling, Scotland, situated on the River Teith. The town is located in the former county of Perthshire and is a popular tourist stop to and from the Highlands.
The town serves as the eastern gateway to the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, the first National Park in Scotland. Due to its location it is often referred to as the "Gateway to the Highlands".
Dominating the town to the north are the Callander Crags, a visible part of the Highland Boundary Fault, rising to 343 m at the cairn. Ben Ledi (879 m) lies north-west of Callander.
This geocache is located in Coilhallan Wood, an expanse of forestry commission land covering 205 acres.
The wood can be accessed via Invertrossachs Road beyond Callander Holiday Park, or from the A81 opposite McLaren High School. However, the former of these options will give, by far, the shortest navigable route to the hiding place of the geocache.
The geo-cords provided will take you to a clearing in the wood adjacent to a large elevated section.
The geocache is a 500ml container hidden within the trunk of a large tree.
This geocache has been placed with the kind permission of the Forestry Commission Scotland.
