Various shots Barrie Garden.

In Kirriemuir, Angus, birthplace of Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, OM (1860 - 1937) Scottish author best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan. The child of a family of small-town weavers, he was educated in Scotland. He moved to London, where he developed a career as a novelist and playwright. There he met the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired him in writing about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens (included in The Little White Bird), then to write Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a "fairy play" about this ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in Neverland. This play became his best-known work. Barrie unofficially adopted the Davies boys following the deaths of their parents. Before his death, he gave the rights to the Peter Pan works to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for children, which continues to benefit from them.
