Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir, sometimes called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its background gets to back to earliest recorded times, when it is believed to have actually been a major ecclesiastical centre. Later on it was understood witchcraft, as well as some older homes still include a "witches stane" to ward off wicked. In the 19th century, it was an important centre of the jute profession. The dramatist J. M. Barrie was born and hidden right here, and a statuary of Peter Pan stands in the community square. Though its value as a market community has actually reduced, its previous hemp manufacturing facilities (now manufacturing synthetics) echo its importance in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving sector. Historical functions near Kirriemuir include a sculpted Pictish rock referred to as the Eassie Stone, located in the bed of a shed near the town of Eassie. Kirriemuir declares the narrowest public walkway in Western Europe; Cat's Close, located in between Grant's Pend and Kirkwynd. It is a simple 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) wide. The household estate of Sir Hugh Munro, that developed Munro's Tables of Scottish mountains over 3,000 ft in elevation (which are now called "munros"), is likewise located near the town, as is Kinnordy House, the seat of the Lyells.
