Callander, the Trossachs, Scotland. My perspective.

The charming Town of Callander, a panorama image from my drone.

I took this image while on a short break this week. My wife Lesley and I had three nights at an apartment in Callander on the banks of the River Teith. The weather was really good, and we did a lot of relaxing in the appartment, walking, site seeing and a quirky picnic to Kinlochard, near Aberfoyle on our last day.

This charming 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". There are plenty of souvenir shops, tea tooms, hotels, B&Bs, and a lovely fish and chip shop.

I love how this image came out all stitched by the drone, using the panorama function. The nice cloud formations, stunning forests, the River Teith, and the town itself during the late afternoon sun. In the centre of the image is the mountain Ben Ledi. You can see this mountain as you approach from the North or South. I love the lovely colour of the late spring. It would look so different in the winter. Now thinking about the winter months, maybe I should take the same panoramic image in the winter as well? I know where I took this image from, so maybe I could do the same in the winter, sounds like fun to me.

Callander is a special place to me, I keep going back either for a drive, walk or bike trip. It’s only an hour away from where I live. From there, heading north, you can really see more of Scotland’s beauty. I will take more panoramas, and post them here in the future, I have a few photography trips lined up already, for example, Glen Coe and the Lake District.
