history |
Callander's ancient church was dedicated to St Kessog, a follower of St Columba of Iona, who is said to have preached at Callander in the 6th century. It is possible that a church or chapel was established in the area shortly afterwards. The church belonged to the Bishopric of Dunblane until 1594 when it was passed to Callander. The parish was united with Kilmachog and Leny in the early 17th century. The church was originally in the Presbytery of Dunblane which then became the Presbytery of Stirling and Dunblane, and later the Presbytery of Stirling. Trossachs was united with Callander St Kessog's in 1954. In 1985 Callander St Kessog's united with Callander St Bride's to form Callander. |
