Nice images of Kirriemuir. My grandfather was born there on Roods in 1871. Wonder if the house he was born in is still there! Thanks for these pictures. Maybe some day I will see this place in person!
I lived in Kirrie from 1939 till 1960 and had a great childhood and teenage years.Kirrie then had 7 bakers 8 pubs 2 schools 7 kirks 6 butchers 7 grocers 2 factories 1 mill 1 gasworks and nobody out of work.Things have changed since my day. I laos lived up Knowehead Crescent over the fence from Anna-Mary Rae and in the same block as Nell Rae think her husband served in RAF during the war had a son and daughter Jim and Anne .
