So take it easy. Best to not take kids. Dogs, be careful.Written September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Well worth the visit.

- Valerie MCastleford, UK3 contributionsCalled in today on our tour of Scotland. The museum was free and really worth a visit. The lady was very helpful and went above and beyond to make our visit more knowledgable. The Bon Scott collection was good and the JM Barrie part was also very interesting. Really worth a visit.Written June 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- iggyg78Ashington, UK161 contributionsA really lovely spot for a picnic. Several routes to go up. Gets a little steep in places but nothing that would worry most people. It’s a short climb but well worth it for the views. Stunning. Walked back across the top of the hills which was lovely too looking down on Glam Clova. Only thing I would have liked is an info board with some pictures of the inside of the monument as you can’t get in to have a look. However the views were stunning.Written August 1, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - NeenthewaurAberdeenshire, UK206 contributionsThe village of Kirriemuir knows how to celebrate its famous son, J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, a story beloved of children old and young.
There's a museum in his birthplace, a quaint weaver's cottage; a garden with ticking crocodile, a small (non flowing) fountain in a quiet corner, and a Barrie pavillion housing the camera obscura donated to the community by the man himself.
For me, the best memorial - as a starting point - is the delicate statue of Peter Pan slap bang in the centre of the town square. You can hardly miss it and interest in it sends visitors to the other places, or at least gets them looking up the connection. There are other, much more active or decorated, statues of Peter around the world, but this one is a perfect, understated, Scottish symbol of quiet, justified pride in a local lad.
It originally stood in Glengate, but was damaged, so a replacement was made by the original artist, Alistair Smart, and that has been in its present situation for 30 years.
You may only spend a few minutes looking at it, or you may be lucky enough to gaze longer while listening to a full band playing (as I have twice), but I think the folk of Kirriemuir have this one just right. It's a super way to start a walk round the community treasures which mark the places that nurtured and influenced young James, who would go on to write one of the most popular fantasies of all.Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Glens is especially worth a visit in May, when the rhododendrons and azaleas are in bloom
