The Trossachs Radio Story
We are an online radio service based in Callander, the key focal point of the area. We provide "music for grown ups" with a strong focus on being informative with local news and information.
​
Trossachs Radio begin in 2022 when our founder, Ed Cullum, decided to address the need for a radio service specifically for the National Park of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.
​
Radio stations exist all around the edge of the National Park, but no service was dedicated to providing information and entertainment for the people living, working in or visiting the Trossachs.
​​​
​​The Trossachs area has a great community spirit, and the Scots are proud of their culture and heritage that Trossachs Radio wishes to reflect and maintain.
​
Everyone is very welcome. We are your radio station… "Och aye it's guid!"

Why local radio is important
The area is a beautiful place, but it also has its unique hazards. Main trunk roads can be treacherous as they meander through the National Park at multiple levels around lochs, hills and mountains. Therefore, we provide reliable weather forecasts and travel information, which are essential to our listeners.
​
The beauty of the Trossachs is a huge attraction to tourists with more than four million visitors to the park each year, enjoying, hiking, cycling, boating and camping across the area. This makes Trossachs Radio a great place to advertise your local business.
Serving the needs of the community and visitors
With our focus on local coverage, we are a new and unique way for local businesses to advertise and reach the people in the National Park. Interested in advertising with us? Read more about advertising opportunities, or get in touch to discuss your needs.
​
​We are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, which means we've been set up to benefit the people of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs themselves.​
​
If you're a staff member of a local school, please reach out to us! We can provide an insight into radio and media services and encourage new people, young and old, to volunteer and join us so we can provide a continually improving service, 24 hours a day.
