LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Peter Pan creator Sir James M Barrie (1860-1937) was born in Kirriemuir. Barrie's birthplace in the centre of town is a popular visitors attraction. Visit the house and see the original Wendy House! Another popular visitor attraction is the Camera Obscura which was built within the cricket pavilion. Barrie donated this to the town in 1930. The cricket pavilion and Camera Obscura are built on the original golf course. The views from this spot are simply breath taking.

Opened
in 2001, the new
Kirriemuir Gateway to the Glens museum is a “must
visit” attraction. It tells of the life of Kirriemuir and the
surrounding Glens from days gone by to the present day. Last year this
museum won the award “The Best Museum 2001” The museum can be found
in the town square over looking the statue of Peter Pan. The Museum Of Aviation is sited at bottom of Bellies Brae. Richard Moss is the custodian of the museum and his knowledge of the history of the R.A.F. is well worth a visit. You can see the museum by visiting them on the web at the following link. www.kamrafa.co.uk |
