Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir, occasionally called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its background reaches back to earliest recorded times, when it is thought to have actually been a major ecclesiastical centre. Later on it was identified with witchcraft, as well as some older residences still feature a "witches stane" to fend off wicked. In the 19th century, it was an essential centre of the jute trade. The dramatist J. M. Barrie was born and also buried right here, and also a statue of Peter Pan stands in the town square. Though its importance as a market town has actually reduced, its former hemp factories (currently producing synthetics) resemble its relevance in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving market. Historical features near Kirriemuir consist of a carved Pictish rock referred to as the Eassie Stone, discovered in the bed of a burn near the village of Eassie. Kirriemuir declares the narrowest public footpath in Western Europe; Cat's Close, situated between Grant's Pend as well as Kirkwynd. It is a plain 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) vast. The household estate of Sir Hugh Munro, that created Munro's Tables of Scottish mountains over 3,000 ft in elevation (which are currently called "munros"), is likewise located near the community, as is Kinnordy House, the seat of the Lyells.
