The Hamilton Toy Museum & Collectors Shop is one of the largest privately owned toy collections in the UK, located in the town of Callander. It showcases 175 years of combined toy collecting by the Hamilton family, displayed over two floors. It's a good choice for toy enthusiasts and families, though the upper floors mean it's not suitable for visitors with limited mobility, and dogs aren't permitted except guide dogs. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from Easter until the end of October, and as a family run business it's worth checking their Facebook page if you're travelling far. If you can't visit in person, a virtual tour is available. With 24 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's a convenient stop if you're basing yourself in the Stirling, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs area, though the nearest station, Dunblane, is 10.2 miles away.
