Description

Early 19th century. 3-storey, 3-window, stugged red ashlar
and slate, modern ground floor shops, original doorpiece with
fanlight.

Statement of Interest

B group.

The central area of Kirriemuir still substantially retains

the warm red sandstone character of the period of Sir J.M.

Barrie's novels. Most of the shop fronts are either original

or mid-Victorian. Only the Parish Church and the British

Linen Bank are of high architectural interest in the academic

sense. The remainder is well-proportioned provincial Georgian

vernacular with a few Victorian replacements. But the

internal grouping and spaces have much character and

atmosphere while the outward grouping on a high bank in the

bend of the Gairie Burn is picturesque. A fair number of

items are included for group value only, i.e. unity of

character and material.
