Trossachs Tryst

Trossachs Tryst with Ben Ledi, in autumn 2025

Trossachs Tryst is a retreat centre at the gateway to the Scottish Highlands that also offers accommodation for the mindful holiday maker. Its purpose as a social enterprise is to foster 'Inner Peace for a Compassionate World'.

The centre is located a twenty-minute walk away from Callander and lies within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. It is a half-hour drive from Stirling and one hour from Edinburgh or Glasgow.

There is ample access to the Scottish countryside. Walks to lochs, hills and mountains start from the front door.

The large group room serves as a meditation hall.

Accommodation on the ground floor is in twin bedrooms, with most of them having en-suite bathrooms. There is further accommodation on the first floor.
