Bochastle

Where we are

About

Explore the past in a landscape immersed in history

Steeped in geological and human history, Bochastle sits just outside Callander where the Garbh Uisge and Eas Gobhain converge to form the River Teith. Can you find Samson’s Putting Stone? This massive rock is perched on the hillside. The site is also home to a roman fort dating back to 1 AD.

Bochastle is ideally placed to link up with other national long-distance routes.
