The 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.

Interesting and appropriate tribute to J M Barrie’s work.
Statue is in the square of Kirriemuir from where you can see most of the town’s high street shops.
Benches nearby to sit and watch the to-ings and fro-ings of this charming Scottish “wee red toon”

Statue of Peter Pan amongst the shops of Kirriemuir. A photo stop more than anything but worth seeing for that reason.

This statue in the centre of Kirriemuir is a nice reminder that James Matthew Barrie was born in this town. The statue depicts our eponymous hero standing on a tree stump, playing a flute (though not the pan flute as far as I could tell). Love it. I can never get tired of Peter Pan.

The Peter Pan Statue is located in the centre of Kirriemuir and it is a fitting tribute to the great author J.M. Barrie.

Right in the centre of Kirriemuir a proud remembrance to J M Barrie for every one to see,we were there at the Bonfest and someone had put a Bon Scott denim waistcoat over Peter for the weekend which was very fitting for two great people who put Kirriemuir on the map.Barries birthplace and house are a short walk away and burial place and park nearby as well.

This statue is located in central Kirriemuir. It is a charming representation of Barrie's most famous character, as is the town
