Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir, occasionally called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its history gets to back to earliest recorded times, when it is thought to have been a significant clerical centre. Later it was identified with witchcraft, and also some older homes still include a "witches stane" to prevent bad. In the 19th century, it was an essential centre of the hemp profession. The dramatist J. M. Barrie was born and also buried right here, and a statuary of Peter Pan stands in the community square. Though its value as a market community has actually decreased, its previous jute factories (now making synthetics) echo its relevance in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving market. Historic attributes near Kirriemuir include a sculpted Pictish rock called the Eassie Stone, located in the bed of a burn near the village of Eassie. Kirriemuir claims the narrowest public walkway in Western Europe; Cat's Close, situated in between Grant's Pend as well as Kirkwynd. It is a mere 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) broad.
