Kirriemuir is a historic burgh located in Angus, Scotland, known for its rich cultural heritage and literary connections. The town is perhaps most famous as the birthplace of J.M. Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan, whose childhood home has been preserved as a museum. This small market town, often referred to as 'Kirrie' by locals, features distinctive red sandstone buildings and narrow winding streets that reflect its medieval origins.
The town's elevated position earned it the nickname 'The Gateway to the Glens,' as it sits at the foot of the Angus Glens leading into the Grampian Mountains. Historically, Kirriemuir was a center for the weaving industry, particularly in the production of linen, which played a significant role in shaping its development during the 19th century. Today, the town maintains its character as a cultural center, celebrating both its literary heritage and traditional Scottish culture through various local institutions and events.
