Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir, occasionally called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its background gets to back to earliest recorded times, when it is thought to have been a significant ecclesiastical centre. Later on it was identified with witchcraft, and also some older residences still include a "witches stane" to prevent wicked. In the 19th century, it was a vital centre of the hemp profession. The dramatist J. M. Barrie was born as well as hidden here, and a sculpture of Peter Pan stands in the community square. Though its importance as a market community has actually decreased, its previous hemp factories (currently producing synthetics) resemble its significance in the 19th century as the centre of a home-based weaving industry. Historical features near Kirriemuir include a sculpted Pictish stone known as the Eassie Stone, discovered in the bed of a melt near the village of Eassie. Kirriemuir claims the narrowest public path in Western Europe; Cat's Close, situated in between Grant's Pend and Kirkwynd. It is a plain 40 centimetres (15.75 inches) large. The family estate of Sir Hugh Munro, that created Munro's Tables of Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet in altitude (which are currently called "munros"), is likewise located near the community, as is Kinnordy House, the seat of the Lyells.
