The town of Kirriemuir is to the south east of the park boundary but is the only town near the beautiful glens of the Clova area of the National Park. It is a great wee place in its own right with nice walks such as in Caddam Wood. It also provides accommodation
and shops in its surrounding area for visitors to this part of the park.
There are many attractions in this general area including
Kirriemuir Golf Club. Most visitors to the south east part
of the Cairngorm National Park will pass through the town
and many make use of the local facilities such as shops
restaurants and more.

Kirriemuir's most famous
native was of course J M Barrie. In the pavilion building in
Kirriemuir you will find a 'camera obscura' which was donated by
the author to the village and offers an interesting insight to
the technology of the Victorian era.
