About this property
Kirriemuir 7 miles. A lovely cottage in the hamlet of East Murthill, boasting a spiral staircase to the first floor bedroom, a lovely patio area. Enjoy superb walking and fishing. An ideal retreat for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. Note: This cottage can be booked with Ref. 1905 to accommodate 12 people.
Made of lovely red sandstone, the Strathmore valley town of Kirriemuir is often regarded as the gateway to the Angus Glens, some of Scotland's most unspoiled landscapes. JM Barrie - creator of the much-loved children's character, Peter Pan, and subject of the Johnny Depp film 'Finding Neverland', was born in the town and his house is now a museum looked after by the National Trust for Scotland. A statue of 'the boy who never grew up' can be found within Kirriemuir. However, Barrie is not the only literary connection to this charming little town. Nearby Glamis castle was the setting for Shakespeare's 'cursed' play, Macbeth. The historic Pictish Stones at Meigle and the Angus Glens are well worth visiting and offer spectacular views whilst hill walking.

There were 4 of us plus dog. The kids loved having the spacious upstairs to themselves. The dog loved her enclosed garden. The open plan was great for family time.

It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Our dog settled immediately which is not always the case. The enclosed garden was beneficial for her to explore. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. There was a plentiful supply of sharp knives!! Although the property is semi detached with a neighbouring property behind, there was no intrusion of privacy or noise. It is 10 mins drive to shops in Forfar and easy access to main road for the coast toward Aberdeen or down to Dundee, and 20 mins drive inland to Glen Clova making the location very well suited for exploation. Thank you.
