Great unique museum celebrating the life of Peter Pan writer J.M. Barrie. The museum, entrance around the rear is 2 houses joined together, one being the original house of Barrie. There are lots of items to view from the era when Barrie lived and of course from Peter Pan. If you are tall remember and duck as the ceilings are a bit low. Entry into the house is £8.50 ( correct as of 23/09/2023) for an adult but free if you are a National Trust member. The washout and garden outside are free to all. The garden has a fantastic crocodile sculpture which, when close up you can here a clock ticking. The curator of the museum was polite and well presented.

Good little museum showing Barrie's early years. Very interesting to see how he maintained his connections with Kirriemuir. There's a little garden and treasure hunt game for the kids.

Full of history great visit informative staff.

Finally got to see the birthplace ofJM Barrie who features strongly in my family tree. Quite biased but this is great small attraction which informs the visitor as much about rural Victorian family life as it does about the formative years of Barrie. An hour will be more than sufficient time to visit.

Very interesting..Small house museum but very informative with fotos, writing and even voice recordings. Remarkable family with talented writer.

The museum is interesting for sure, it is very small (as it is an old terraced house) and unfortunately due to this and most of the exhibits not being protected I don't think suitable for children to visit however as a lot of information is about the author himself it is very much more interesting for adults to visit and I would urge everyone interested in JM Barrie to do so, also as you are not permitted to take pictures in the house I have attached a couple from the small garden outside.

Very interesting place to visit. I didn't realise he'd written so many books and was Sir J M Barrie! You can also visit the wash-house, where he held his early performances. There's also a lovely wee garden with the amazing wooden crocodile sculpture which actually ticks! Worth a visit!

Interesting but we found it quite expensive for what it is. The lassie was very pleasant and worked out all the savings we could make in a year by joining the National Trust but I thought it was a bit too much 'hard sell'. The cottage is quaint and the exhibits very interesting, particularly the original costumes from the theatre performances. It's a shame there isn't more for children to make the connection between Barrie and Peter Pan, maybe some colourful pictures or a short video. Tick tock the croc is outside in the garden and is stunning. Made from driftwood and he actually ticks. This captured our 10 year old grandson's attention and is why I feel that more could be done inside for youngsters. There is a nice wee gift shop but I was disappointed as there was nothing relating to Barrie and Peter Pan. A plastic Hook's sword and a postcard with the front of the cottage were the only relevant items. Not even a fridge magnet. There are books, some lovely Highland cow keyrings and bookmarks and some toys. Overall, our visit was 'average'

This is a great wee spot to visit and a chance to breathe in some literary history. If you have time, head up the street and visit JM Barrie's grave too

Great to see his birthplace. Lots of information & mementos from his life. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Cute wee gift shop. Fun little garden

Lovely unspoilt waterfall. 150 ft views down into the ravine. Difficult path beyond the falls but great views back upriver. No tickets. Easy access from car park but not wheelchair friendly.

Lovely place for a walk to see the waterfall. The trees have fallen recently though presumably because of a storm. The tracks are a little harder to navigate. Near the beginning of the trail by the car park, you can go down to the rocks near the waterfall.

This is worth the drive up to see it, so if in the area please make the effort. The path is short but as frequently mentioned it isn’t a walk for the faint hearted. The drop builds the nearer you get to the falls as does the noise. The waterfall is big and the river is too so the volume of flow makes it even more impressive. Walk beyond it to get the best view back to the falls.

It's a nice seeing the waterfall the path is a bit narrow with things can trip over and a drop so have be very careful. Still nice once get up to the viewpoint for the waterfall

A stunning place in which you can park super close and the walk takes about 20 minutes each way. Beautiful views, the path is very narrow in places due to trees however it’s totally navigable. I went solo with my 2 labs and I took up the entire width of path so that gives you an idea of width. 150ft sheer drop down the gorge but when walking in places like this, common sense prevails. Simply stunning.

Mesmerizing place. You definitely need to be careful when going down the trail, since there is a 45m drop just next to you. Do not recommend bringing children younger than 7 years. Definitely worth visiting!

A short walk from a dedicated car park to the top of the falls. Nice views from the top of the gorge - it would have been nice to see them from the bottom, but the path ahead was very overgrown, and we weren't sure if it would have taken us down anyway.

Beautiful waterfall and a nice walk through the forest. Please be mindful the path is on a steep hill which can be extremely dangerous if not careful so watch out especially if you plan visiting with small kids or dogs.

Beautiful waterfall - go visit. The path is narrow in places & a sheer drop into the gorge, so be very careful & keep your dog on a lead.

Great place , very small car park with a picnic area , which is really great got picnic tables with bbq spaces , plenty of grass ready for picnic blankets and easy access to the river so u can have a splash at hit days . Walk to the waterfall is really short just a couple of minutes and it's easy . Waterfall is 45 m drop .

Quiet, adequate parking, just did the shorter walk. Louder when near the falls. Places to get a better view. Roots in footpath and can be muddy after rain. Really worth the walk

I absolutely love this place, It is a local treasure, The carpark can get very full, The path is narrow in places so be careful, you can access the waterfall on the south side of the bridge.

It’s an amazing waterfall with natural beauty all around it . There’s a steep and narrow walk to the fall to see its real power and the mist that the creates when the water drops and hits the rocks . There’s a close up view point if you can brave the rocks and climb down

What a great sight! I'm not sure why I've only just now found out about it. It's a short walk along the top of the gorge but beware it is not suitable for buggies/wheelchairs and young children would need good supervision due to the steepness of the drop.

a wee bit of history beautifuly shown by enthusiastic volunteers lovely cafe as well

Like stepping back in time with a visit to this near-century-old building. Made most of great wee cafe while waiting to go upstairs to camera room. Rural views reflected on to curved screen thru clever use of light, mirror and lens was fascinating. Friendly, chatty staff very welcoming. Well worth a visit again. Unfortunately, being run by volunteers means it's only open Sat, Sun and Mon. Check before setting off to make sure it isn't closed. Free attraction with donations gratefully accepted!

Surprisingly more fascinating than I had imagined it would be, and all the staff were so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable!

Thank you for such an informative chat, lovely tea and a very friendly welcome. First class service!

Excellent visit on doors open day. Cafe and shop are great and very reasonably priced. The obscura is brilliant! Can see all around for miles! Short wait to get in on a busy day.... just enough time for tea!

Lovely piece of history, paid for by JM Barrie, hopefully they still sprinkle pixie dust around here. Open on Saturdays Sundays and Mondays. Run by volunteers.

Fantastic free attraction! The volunteer who demonstrated the camera obscura was so friendly and knowledgeable. I then enjoyed a cuppa and scone in the fantastic value café - I'm coeliac, which they catered for impressively well with 3 cake options ❤️. An all-round 5🌟 experience

We visited today and had a lovely time! It is such a lovely part of the country, the building and surrounding areas were very clean and tidy. The cafe served us lovely coffee/tea and tasty scone and gingerbread whilst the previous visitors had their viewing. The views of the area with the camera Obscura are very impressive. The volunteers running it are very friendly and knowledgeable about the local history and the area. Thank you for a lovely visit. Fiona & George

Great views and lovely open green area.

Great attraction with amazing views through the camera. The volunteers running the pavilion are great, friendly, helpful and passionate about the camera obscura.

Volunteers run this so we were glad it was open as we wanted to see j m barrie house but it was closed. Got to see the camera obscure , then a cuppa and cake. Nice walk around the graveyard then through the paths around the play park. Will be going back with the grand kids.

This park is amazing! Great for little kids, big kids and adults alike. There are a few different sections which keep everyone amused. There is free parking and a lovely open green space perfect for dogs! You can easily spend a few hours here at a time! Such a lovely park and the Peter Pan, Captain Hook theme is brilliant!

Great fun for kids, well mantained.

Such a well kept and maintained playground. Decent parking allowance and a great variety of equipment for children of all ages

lovely large park. wander in the wood, or out in the open. kiddies play area too. Great views.

This is a great park and worth making a detour for if looking for somewhere to let the kids have a big play Also great for throwing the ball for the dog as the ground was somewhat sandy so was not as muddy as other spots. Nice views and so a 5 star for a park for us

A lovely playground, made to ignite little ones imagination. It's boat shape encloses nice and rather ... naive would sculptures of Peter Pan and Captain Hook. The park nearby ads endless playing, walking or other activities opportunities. The picknik tables and the toilets are clean, in a very good condition.

The boys really enjoyed this park and we stayed for an hour and a half, having driven from Aberdeen, for something different. Lovely green space for a picnic but no picnic tables etc.

A good playground with an excellent wooden climbing frame though safety rails are limited so not suitable for young children or wet (slippery) weather. There are also swings, a roundabout, slide and zip wire among other pieces of equipment.

Really brilliant pirate/Peter Pan themed play park in nice parkland with free parking and a wee cafe. Camera Obscura and JM Barrie links great for older kids too.

A true gem in the heart of Kirriemuir, loved to see the exhibitions and got some nice souvenirs. The ladies at reception were lovely and helped us with information about the museum, Kirrie and recommendations/directions. A must-visit for many reasons and for whatever interests you. My list starts with AC/DC and Bon Scott! :)

Unusually, in a rainy Kirriemuir, I was at a loose end, having parked in Bank Street ... soon to be bank-less. I had driven to town to post a larger-than-small-type card that required postmaster inspection. That done, I realised the balance of my half-hour free-to-park time might allow me a browse around the most wonderful creatively-curated museum tucked in the 'Gateway to The Glens' building ... the former 'Toon Hoose' on the High street. A fine historical landmark four-hundred-years-old pile, in tip-top order, it's an absolute treat to enter as the ladies on duty can do no more than they do to make a visitor feel welcome and unhurried. I just caught Michael Visocchi's photography exhibits and went on to admire the old town centre mock-up, once again.  My interest in paintings drew me to some recent exhibits of Old Kirrie by Ryle Smith and the Edmund Caswell works, Dave Robertson's and Bob Reid's artistic efforts. Plenty stuff on famous Kirriemarians, Sir J. M. Barrie and AC/DC's Bon Scott, Sir Hugh Munro of mountaineering interest and Charles Lyell of Kinnordy, the Giant of Geology, the musical Camerons and the Victoria Cross (can I say?) 'triplets'.  Oh, and did you know that Kirriemuir's very own Peter Hood, in the early part of the nineteenth century, invented that now redundant but (for more than a hundred and fifty years) indispensible machine ... The Typewriter? All in all, what a charming wee museum, fit for purpose ... and more.  If you find yoursel' strolling through Kirrie ... And Many (like the great Australian writer and actor, W. S. Percy) Do ... check out this small but truly Big Attraction.

A nice little museum in a historic building. There is a tribute to AC/DC and a little more. A wonderful surprise in a small town.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff able to answer a wide range of local history questions. Visit well spent

Beautifull town home town of bonn scott and jm barry well worth avisit.would just like to add im back at my sons again begining of march and would like to think i can squeeze in another visit both to the museum and the town love the place

Great little local museum. Don't expect lots of interactive toys and think a little about what you see.

Interesting little museum, filled with lots of varied and interesting local displays and history of the area.
