Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir, in some cases called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its history reaches back to earliest recorded times, when it is believed to have been a major ecclesiastical centre. Later it was related to witchcraft, as well as some older residences still feature a "witches stane" to ward off wicked. In the 19th century, it was an essential centre of the jute profession. The dramatist J. M. Barrie was born and buried right here, and also a statue of Peter Pan stands in the town square. Though its relevance as a market town has diminished, its former hemp factories (now manufacturing synthetics) echo its value in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving sector. Historic features near Kirriemuir consist of a carved Pictish stone known as the Eassie Stone, found in the bed of a melt near the village of Eassie. Kirriemuir claims the narrowest public footpath in Western Europe; Cat's Close, situated in between Grant's Pend as well as Kirkwynd. It is a simple 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) broad. The household estate of Sir Hugh Munro, that developed Munro's Tables of Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet in elevation (which are currently called "munros"), is also situated near the town, as is Kinnordy House, the seat of the Lyells.
