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.
The square has been remodelled in the late 20th century with the memorial being partly enclosed by low walling to all sides. Around this has been placed bench seating, giving the memorial good visual presence and serving as a focal point to S side of the square. It is of interest to note that the fiery cross is a symbol used to represent the town of Callander.
