Kirriemuir, also can be called Kirrie, is just a 30-minute drive from Dundee and a short five miles North of Forfar. This charming town is an ideal starting point for exploring Angus, known as the "Gateway to the Glens." Embrace the breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife surrounding Kirriemuir.

This picturesque town holds significance as the birthplace of Sir JM Barrie, the author of Peter Pan. His childhood home has been meticulously restored and transformed into a museum. Additionally, it is the hometown of Bon Scott, the iconic lead singer of AC/DC. You can now capture a photo beside the statue at Bellies Brae. Furthermore, the annual Bonfest is held to honour Kirriemuir's renowned history.
