Old travel Blog photograph of the road to Callander, Trossachs, Scotland. The town serves as the eastern gateway to the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, the first National Park in Scotland, and is often referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands. The second to last person to be tried and imprisoned for the crime of Witchcraft in the UK was Helen Duncan, from Callander, during World War Two. As late as 1845 Scottish Gaelic was still spoken in Callander with two schools still teaching it. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
