In this two-storey house J.M. Barrie (1860-1937) was born. The upper floor is furnished, as it may have been when Barrie lived there. The adjacent house, No 11, houses an exhibition - The Genius of J.M. Barrie - about Barrie’s literary and theatrical works. The outside wash house is said to have been his first theatre. An audio programme is available. There is also a café and small shop.	Click to send this photo as a postcard

	I fervently believe that there is a little bit of Peter Pan in all of us - all wanting never to grew old and live as a child forever. JM Barrie nailed it with his story of Peter but his own life's story started at No 9 Brechin Road, which today is full of the history of the author as is the neighbouring No 11. Not quite a trip to Never Never Land but close. - Sara Drew
