Only seven miles from the ancient town of Callander is the small settlement of Strathyre, which is named after the Gaelic phrase meaning "broad winding valley" and is located at the head of Loch Lubnaig, protected by Ben Ledi, Ben Vane, and Ben Shian. As a former resting point for cattle drovers and current home to a café, a small village store, a post office, and a tavern that serves meals, Strathyre has long been a favourite destination for tourists. Beautiful, verdant woodlands cover the hills on either side of the valley, drawing hikers, cyclists, and fell runners every year. In May, competitors compete in the strenuous Strathyre Stuc a Chroin 5000 hill race. The 18-hole golf course at Callander, which is among the top ten courses in Scotland, is only a short drive away.
