Nantusi Cottage, Kirriemuir

Situated in the valley of Strathmore and regarded as the gateway to the Angus Glens, Kirriemuir is a lovely red sandstone town amidst some of Scotland’s most unspoiled landscapes. This stunning settlement was the birthplace of the renowned novelist JM Barrie, best known for his children’s character Peter Pan who was the subject of the film ‘Finding Neverland’. His house is now a museum looked after by the National Trust for Scotland and a statue of ‘the boy who never grew up’ can be found in the town itself. Another literary landmark is close by in the form of Glamis castle, Shakespeare’s setting for his unluckiest of plays, Macbeth. Kirriemuir also hosts an Aviation Museum and the historic Pictish Stones at Meigle as well as hill-walking in the Angus Glens.
