Peter Pan's Birthplace Kirriemuir
At the gateway to the much loved Angus Glens, a charming, friendly little hotel, the perfect hospitality complement to the fantastic golf, country sports and touring opportunities which surround.
Like many hotels in Kirriemuir, the Airlie Arms Hotel offers cosy accommodation, deliciously uncomplicated cuisine, flexible service and a very homely atmosphere which have made it popular with golfers, country sportspeople, and outdoor enthusiasts. Some of the bedrooms are cleverly self contained in clusters making them ideal for small groups and families.
And Kirriemuir, the 'little red town' is the gateway to the celebrated Angus Glens. Reaching far into the foothills of the Grampians, they epitomize the Scottish 'great outdoors', and provide opportunities from gentle rambling and hill-walking to serious mountaineering and skiing, from birdwatching and nature pursuits to loch and river fishing, a highland adventure outdoor pursuits centre featuring canoeing and abseiling, and excellent off-road horse riding and trekking. Kirriemuir is the birthplace of world famous author Sir James Barrie of 'Peter Pan' fame. Visit his birthplace, and Camera Obscura, his gift to the people of Kirriemuir. Admire Peter's statue in the square.
Miles of open road and stunning country routes for walking and cycling. Golf - from sporting 9 hole courses to the championship links of Carnoustie, Monifeith and Downfield, a delightful local 18 hole course designed by James Braid - and the wonderful Strathmore golfing centre at Alyth with a choice of 3 superb 18 hole golf courses. Many connoisseurs rate the Rosemount course at nearby Blairgowrie as one of the country's finest.
4 miles away is magnificent Glamis Castle, one of Scotland's premier visitor attractions. Glamis village also houses the Angus Folk museum.
