Fun day chatting achievements and lessons learnt about helping deliver @CallandersLand. Was fun helping deliver a great landscape partnership with @lomondtrossachs NP and the community. Can't not take a picture of the River Teith and Ben Ledi when in Callander 😍

If you're out and about enjoying the Callander area, you may notice we're working to install new path waymarkers and finger posts. It's great to see these updates underway, which we hope to have completed later this month.
