J M Barrie's Birthplace (National Trust for Scotland) — Attraction in Scotland

Interesting but we found it quite expensive for what it is. The lassie was very pleasant and worked out all the savings we could make in a year by joining the National Trust but I thought it was a bit too much 'hard sell'.

Tick tock the croc is outside in the garden and is stunning. Made from driftwood and he actually ticks.

There is a nice wee gift shop but I was disappointed as there was nothing relating to Barrie and Peter Pan. A plastic Hook's sword and a postcard with the front of the cottage were the only relevant items. Not even a fridge magnet. There are books, some lovely Highland cow keyrings and bookmarks and some toys. Overall, our visit...

The garden has a fantastic crocodile sculpture which, when close up you can here a clock ticking. The curator of the museum was polite and...
