CALLANDER, a '''parish''', in the county of Perth; containing the village of Kilmahog, 6 miles (N. N. E.) from Port of Monteith. This place derives its name, of Gaelic origin, from an ancient ferry across the river Teath, the principal road to which lay within its limits. The village is on the great road from Stirling to the Western Highlands. The church, a neat edifice, with a tower and spire, was erected in 1773, and is adapted for a congregation of 800 persons. A place of worship has been erected in connexion with the '''Free Church'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43425#s19 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 163-185.
