Join the Jazz Cruise
One of the highlights of the Callander Jazz Festival is The Jazz Cruise on the SS Sir Walter Scott on beautiful Loch Katrine. 2 hours cruisng the 7 miles of Loch Katrine listening to the band with refreshments served on board. Take in the stunning views of Ben Venue and Glen Gyle, once the home of Rob Roy MacGregor.
There is a covered sun lounge area and a viewing deck and lounge should the weather be inclement.
Spaces are limited therefore booking in advance is highly recommended. This was a great day out in 2009 as the weather was sunny and everyone had a great time listen to Winstone's Pennine Jazz Band.
