The town has more recent literary connections. The gardens of Moat Brae House were ‘enchanted lands’ to JM Barrie which inspired the world of Peter Pan. Moat Brae is now an excellent visitor centre open to the public to inspire the Peter Pan in everyone (you are never too old to be enchanted). For the children, Ridge View is approximately 15 minutes away from Mabie Farm Park, Dalscone Farm Park, with many other attractions within easy reach.
