Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir, sometimes called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its history gets to back to earliest recorded times, when it is thought to have actually been a major ecclesiastical centre. Later it was identified with witchcraft, and also some older homes still feature a "witches stane" to ward off evil. In the 19th century, it was a vital centre of the jute profession. The playwright J. M. Barrie was born as well as buried here, and a sculpture of Peter Pan stands in the community square. Though its importance as a market town has actually decreased, its former jute manufacturing facilities (now producing synthetics) resemble its significance in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving industry. Historic functions near Kirriemuir consist of a sculpted Pictish rock known as the Eassie Stone, found in the bed of a melt near the town of Eassie. Kirriemuir claims the narrowest public footpath in Western Europe; Cat's Close, positioned in between Grant's Pend as well as Kirkwynd. It is a plain 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) vast. The family estate of Sir Hugh Munro, who produced Munro's Tables of Scottish mountains over 3,000 ft in altitude (which are now called "munros"), is likewise situated near the community, as is Kinnordy House, the seat of the Lyells.
