Camera Obscura
|
The Kirriemuir Camera Obscura is run by the National Trust for Scotland on behalf of Angus Council. The cricket pavilion in which it is housed was gifted by JM Barrie to the people of Kirriemuir. The camera obscura, which gives a clear 360-degree view of the surrounding area up to 70 miles away on a clear day, was his gift to the children. In this day and age it is still a fascination for visitors of all ages, but especially for young visitors.
School visits are welcome by appointment. Please contact J M Barrie's Birthplace on 0844 493 2142 or the Area Manager on 0844 493 2144. Pupils will be split into smaller groups of a maximum of 8 due to the small viewing area. In poor weather the camera may not be operational.
