Callander conservation area regeneration scheme
A scheme to maintain and restore the historic
character of Callander's conservation area is now up and running. Funding of
£500,000 has been secured from the National Park Authority and Historic
Scotland until 2014. Funding will go towards grants for repairs and
improvements to homes and businesses in the conservation area.
The conservation area covers the older parts of
Callander around Leny Road,
Leny Feus, Main Street,
