Description
Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority
Erected c. 1920 and of good local historic interest being dedicated to the men of Callander lost in the 1st Word War, subsequently altered to incorporate those who died in the 2nd World War. The memorial is set in a prominent position to the fore of the S side of Ancaster Square.
A rubble circular base partly filled with soil (to enable being planted up) upon which sits a rubble cube base with a brass plaque to each face. 3 of the plaques are inscribed with the names of the town's dead, the 4th depicts a figure wearing Highland dress carrying a fiery cross. Sitting upon this base is an ashlar column with a Celtic capital crowned by an erect shield-bearing lion facing NE towards the former parish church (now the Rob Roy and Trossachs Visitor Centre, see separate listing). A later bronze ring with Celtic decoration is to be found near the base of the column commemorating those who died in the 2nd World War.
