Scottish Veterans Garden Settlement, Esher Crescent, Stirling Road, Callander

The Scottish Veterans Garden Settlement, located on Esher Crescent, Stirling Road in Callander, was built between 1919 and 1920 by Stewart & Patterson from Glasgow. This crescent consists of 12 single-storey houses with attics, designed in a domestic Baronial style specifically for war veterans. The layout features two curved terraces facing each other to the northwest and southeast, with a war memorial positioned at the center. The design reflects the influence of architect Robert Lorimer, showcasing traditional materials and detailing. Historically, these buildings represent significant social housing developments in Scotland during the interwar period. The foundation stone was laid by Robert Munro, the Secretary of State for Scotland, in 1919. The crescent also contributes uniquely to the townscape along Callander's main thoroughfare.

Each house in the crescent is arranged in symmetrical pairs, with the entrance door centrally located and flanked by bipartite windows. Above the entrances, there are either single piended, pitched, or arched dormer windows. The ends of the crescent feature advanced single-bay pavilions, with the outer pavilions showcasing stepped tripartite windows and piend-roofed dormers, while the inner pavilions include squat two-storey circular staircases.

The war memorial is a rustic structure made of dome-capped rubble columns connected by a wall that contains a memorial and a slate slab bench.

The buildings are constructed with random rubble 'pudding stone' walls and stacks, featuring 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The entrance doors are vertically boarded timber with four-pane glazed uppers. The roofs are continuous pitched grey slate, piended at the pavilions, and the majority of attic windows have random rubble dormer heads. Rustic string courses adorn the towers and chimney stacks.
