As an estate that is located in central Scotland strategically placed between the economic power houses of Edinburgh and Glasgow Callendar Estate has to be closely in tune with the needs of those that live and work in the communities immediately around it. The art of balancing the varying needs of rural and urban populations is never an easy one however Callendar Estate grasps these issues and works with all those around to move forward to maximise the use of the estate for the benefit of all.</span><span class="Black_Text"></span><br /> <span class="Black_Text"><br /> </span><span class="Black_Text"><img style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px;" width="301" height="165" align="right" src="/EZ/ce/ce/imagelibrary/children_300.jpg" alt="Children planting an oak tree on Callendar Estate" title="Children planting an oak tree on Callendar Estate" /></span><span class="Black_Text"><br /> Through the innovative activities and initiatives that Callendar Estate has undertaken it has helped put Falkirk on the map.
