Top 5 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Kirriemuir, Scotland
Kirriemuir, sometimes called Kirrie, is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. Its history reaches back to earliest recorded times, when it seems to have been a major ecclesiastical centre. Later it was identified with witchcraft, and some older houses still feature a ‘witches stane’ to ward off evil. In the 19th century, it was an important centre of the jute trade. The playwright J.M. Barrie was born and buried here, and a statue of Peter Pan stands in the town square.

Even in the chilly damp cold of a Northeastern January morning in the Wee Red Town of Kirriemuir, the magnificent statue of Bon Scott in the Bellie's Brae Car Park still compels the great singer's admirers to congregate around it in well-behaved worship of their late rock-star hero. It's not an uncommon site here in our tight-knit community. In fact, I drove past a pretty pile of such people, chatting, admiring, taking and posing for photos, this very morning, and watched them awhile ... thought they might be probably Dutch. Anyway, the now well-established long-weekend annual bean-feast to the great Bon ... Kirriemuir's very own "The Bonfest" begins celebrating on May 3, 4 & 5. ... and the local caterers will be braced to provide all they require. Bon Scott is certainly an asset to the interesting little Scottish town of his birth.

Built in 1901 in honor of David Ogilvy, the 9th Earl of Airlie, who was killed during the Boer War in South Africa.

The walk to the monument was manageable for all ages. Our group ranged from 3 years old to 65. The 360degree view from the top was tremendous with far-reaching views to the coast and across the mountains. We all enjoyed the afternoon
