About the memorial: Crescent of 12 single storey and attic houses built in a domestic Baronial style for war veterans. The crescent is formed from a mirrored pair of curved terraces to the NW and SE, a war memorial is set to the centre. The crescent also makes a distinctive contribution to the townscape of Callander's main thoroughfare. Each crescent comprises of symmetrical pairs of houses with the entrance door set to the centre flanked by bipartite windows and either a single piended, pitched or arched breaking eaves dormer window arranged above. The crescent ends are terminated by advanced single bay pavilions. Those to the outer pavilions have stepped tripartite windows and piend-roofed dormers. The inner pavilions feature squat 2-storey circular stair. War Memorial Rustic memorial comprising of dome-capped rubble columns linked by a wall containing a memorial and a slate slab bench. Materials Random rubble 'pudding stone' walls and stacks. 12-pane timber sash and case windows. Vertically-boarded timber entrance doors with 4-pane glazed uppers. Continuous pitched grey slate roofs, piended at pavilions. Random rubble dormer heads to majority of attic windows. Rustic string courses to towers and chimney stacks. The Stewart and Patterson scheme originally consisted of a 'garden settlement' which included a hall, farm, greenhouses, workshops and more dwellings. Esher Crescent however is all that was built of the proposed scheme. It is of interest to note that the curved stone dormerheads are reminiscent of Lorimer's Rustic Cottages in Colinton Edinburgh (see separate listing). The crescent is named after Viscount Esher who owned the nearby Roman Camp Hotel in the early 20th century
