Flooding

Callander was flooded today. Instead of a convergence of two rivers, we now seem to have an enormous loch, stretching across from the Meadows Car Park to Bridgend. The water reached the bottom of Main Street, opposite the Dreadnought Hotel, entering at least one shop. I don’t know if any houses have been affected.

Several roads have been closed today including the main A84 from Doune through Callander to the north and the A821 between Brig O Turk and Aberfoyle. I’ve heard that the only road out of Callander is the B822 via Thornhill.
