Kirriemuir Camera Obscura \u2013 one of only three in Scotland \u2013 is housed in a purpose-designed turret room in the Barrie Pavilion on Kirrie Hill. It was gifted to the town by Sir J M Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan, along with the cricket pavilion in which it is situated and was opened by the author on 7th June 1930.<\/p>\n

Kirriemuir Camera Obscura provides a fascinating glimpse of historic technology and boasts stunning 360 degree views of the surrounding countryside including the hills and Angus Glens. Friendly guides will explain how the equipment works and point out the various landmarks which can be viewed via the camera. The Camera Obscura works best on bright sunny days so there will be times when the view will not be at its best due to weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Visitors can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat in Caf\u00e9 Obscura<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Camera Obscura and Caf\u00e9 Obscura are completely self- funding and all profits are given back into the community. Both camera and caf\u00e9 are entirely managed and staffed by Kirriemuir Regeneration Group volunteers.<\/p>\n

There is free car parking near the pavilion and public toilets are situated at the rear of the pavilion.<\/p>\n

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome in the caf\u00e9, but dogs are not permitted in the camera room.<\/p>\n

There are kites for children up to 100 years old to borrow and some outdoor games to play. The Neverland Playpark is just across the way with its wheelchair swing and there are outdoor tables to sit at and enjoy your tea\/coffee etc. There is also outdoor gym equipment on the hill.<\/p>\n

Opening Times:<\/strong>
\n29 March to mid-October 2025
\nSaturday, Sunday & Monday \u2013 11am to 4pm (last camera viewing at 3.45pm)<\/p>\n

Entry Fee:<\/strong>
\nEntry free but donations appreciated.<\/p>\n

Accessibility:<\/strong>
\nThe pavilion and caf\u00e9 are wheelchair accessible but unfortunately due to the nature of the building we are unable to provide access up to the Camera Obscura. A DVD is available to show to visitors who are unable to access the camera room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1806,"template":"","tags":[138],"location":[9],"accessibility":[28,30,35,36],"attraction-type":[82,141],"class_list":["post-1803","attraction","type-attraction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-ask-angus","location-kirriemuir","accessibility-accessible-parking-or-drop-off-point","accessibility-bike-racks","accessibility-level-access-entry","accessibility-parking","attraction-type-heritage-attractions","attraction-type-history-culture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAttractions
