Edzell Castle in Angus The birthplace of Scotland
The magnificent Edzell Castle, is a ruined 16th-century castle, with an early-17th-century walled garden. It is located close to Edzell itself, and is around 5 miles (8 km) north of Brechin, in Angus, Scotland. Edzell Castle was begun around 1520 by David Lindsay, 9th Earl of Crawford, and expanded by his son, Sir David Lindsay, Lord Edzell, who also laid out the garden in 1604. The castle saw little military action, and was, in its design, construction and use, more of a country house than a defensive structure. It was briefly occupied by English troops during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651. In 1715 it was sold by the Lindsay family, and eventually came into the ownership of the Earl of Dalhousie. It was given into state care in the 1930s, and is now a visitor attraction run by Historic Scotland (open all year; entrance charge). The castle consists of the original tower house and building ranges around a courtyard. The adjacent Renaissance walled garden, incorporating intricate relief carvings, is unique in Scotland. It was replanted in the 1930s, and is considered to have links to esoteric traditions, including Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry.

Autumn Peter Pan Statue Kirriemuir Angus Scotland
Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of the Peter Pan statue, the boy who refused to grow up, on the High Street on ancestry, genealogy visit to Kirriemuir, Angus. Kirriemuir's most famous son was the author JM Barrie, born May 9, 1860, the son of a weaver, and the creator of Peter Pan. Barrie never recovered from the shock he received at six from a brother’s death and its grievous effect on his mother. Throughout his life Barrie wished to recapture the happy years before his mother was stricken, and he retained a strong childlike quality in his adult personality. The original sculpture was made by Alistair Smart, and stood in Glengate, Kirriemuir, but following damage to it a replacement was made and erected in its present position in the High Street. It was unveiled by the Countess of Airlie on August 13th 1994. Barrie died of pneumonia at a nursing home in Manchester Street, Marylebone, an area in the West End of London, England, on 19 June 1937. He was buried at Kirriemuir next to his parents and two of his siblings. Barrie’s marriage in 1894 to the actress Mary Ansell was childless and apparently unconsummated.
