Callander Jazz and Blues Festival 2011
The Callander Jazz and Blues Festival is now firmly established on the UK Festival map and is one of the largest rural music festival events in Scotland. Visit the Heart of Scotland and experience a weekend of first class entertainment amongst the early Autumn splendour of the Trossachs.
Callander is the eastern ‘gateway’ town within The Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The town is on the A84 about 15 miles from Junction 10 (Stirling) off the M9.
The Trossachs is a well known tourist destination with Aberfoyle to the South and Callander to the North and both are well signposted on all the major routes as you drive through Central Scotland.
