Not sure whether it's an actual village or town, but it's shown on the map, and I couldn't resist the name! Dammit, beaten to it again! Go with either E or T, folks!

andytrains Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Kirriemuir is an historic town, set on a hill at the gateway for Glens Clova and Prosen. Kirriemuirs narrow streets are lined with red sandstone houses and the town is full of shops, galleries, interesting museums, cosy cafes and very welcoming pubs. Also the best ice cream in Tayside. Kirriemuir is also the birthplace of Peter Pan's creator, J.M. Barrie. The town had a railway station which was the terminus of a branch off the main line from Perth to Aberdeen via Forfar. The line closed to passengers in 1952 and to freight services in 1965. Edited June 19, 2013 by andytrains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebottle Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Auchmithie – Angus, Tayside, Scotland, UK. A small former fishing village three miles north-east of Arbroath. It was here that the famous Arbroath Smokie, a hot-smoked haddock, originated. The fisherfolk were enticed away to Arbroath towards the end of the 19th century with the promise of better facilities, and now only a few small fishing boats work from Auchmithie. The village figures in “The Antiquary”, one of Sir Walter Scott's Waverley Novels, under the name of “Musselcrag”. Scott visited Auchmithie and went out in one of the boats - this was before the harbour was built; the boats were launched from the beach and the fishwives carried their menfolk on their backs out to them so that they could start off in dry clothes. Scott being a large man, one of the men carried him, causing Scott to compliment him as “a fine muckle-backit fellow”, and to name one of the characters in the novel “Luckie Mucklebackit”. Auchmithie atop the 120' high cliffs above its ruinous harbour. (From Google Street View) Edit: tweaked picture.
