ARCHITECT: Robert Baldie, 1883
Callander Parish Church appears to have occupied this site since about 1773. This was when the Old Parish Church on Bridge Street was superceded by a new church 'not far distant' (see Archaeology Notes for Old Parish Church). The buildings on Ancaster Square were constructed from around this time, and a church is shown on this site on the 1st edition O.S. maps (1868). Robert Baldie's church replaced this structure in 1883.
The following references are regarding the pre-Baldie church.
