    Location 1: Say hello to Peter Pan and Bon Scott

    Kirriemuir is famously known as the birthplace of J M Barrie, author of children’s favourite Peter Pan. A statue of Peter Pan stands in Kirriemuir town centre to commemorate Barrie – make sure you pay it a visit.

    Another claim to fame for Kirriemuir is Bon Scott, lead singer of rock band AC/DC, who was raised in Kirriemuir during his early years. A statue of Bon was unveiled in 2016 and stands proudly in Bellies Brae car park – come and take a selfie with this rock and roll legend.

    There’s also some woodland here if you fancy a walk before lunch.
