Statement of Interest

B-group with 1 / 57 Main Street, 8, 9, 16, 18, 20, 24, 26 Ancaster Square. Ancaster Square is recognised as the historical centre of the town, the B-group represents surviving buildings with significant fabric from the 18th century conception of the square. As a group these buildings contribute significantly to the character of Callander. The difference in size of the building material to the principal elevation suggests that the building was originally single storey and raised at a later date. For further historical information on Ancaster Square please consult the notes of the list description of 1 Ancaster Square / 57 Main Street.
