The Square & High Street
The Square and High Street is the centre of Kirriemuir where the markets were once held. The Town House sits at the top of Bellies Brae and now houses the Gateway to the Glens Museum. The Square is overlooked by the Old Parish Church and surrounded by various local businesses including cafes, florists, hairdressers, hardware store, takeaway food and grocery stores.
