Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir, in some cases called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its history gets to back to earliest recorded times, when it is believed to have actually been a major clerical centre. Later it was related to witchcraft, and also some older houses still feature a "witches stane" to ward off evil. In the 19th century, it was an essential centre of the jute trade. The playwright J. M. Barrie was born as well as buried below, and also a statuary of Peter Pan stands in the town square. Though its value as a market town has reduced, its previous jute factories (currently producing synthetics) resemble its relevance in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving industry. Historical functions near Kirriemuir include a carved Pictish rock referred to as the Eassie Stone, found in the bed of a melt near the village of Eassie. Kirriemuir asserts the narrowest public walkway in Western Europe; Cat's Close, situated in between Grant's Pend and also Kirkwynd. It is a simple 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) large. The family estate of Sir Hugh Munro, who developed Munro's Tables of Scottish hills over 3,000 feet in elevation (which are now called "munros"), is also situated near the community, as is Kinnordy House, the seat of the Lyells.
