Our first coffee break. At the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Cairn on the top of Cnoc Dubh, north-east of Callander Craig

The original cairn was built in 1897 but eventually collapsed and was re-erected by the Callander Round Table in 1997.

The foot bridge over the Keltie Water at the Bracklinn Falls

This wood-and-copper footbridge was installed in October 2010 replacing a steel footbridge which had become unsafe. Unfortunately, it too was declared unsafe and was closed in May 2021. A replacement bridge is to be installed and opened in 2022.
