Red Town' and 'Gateway to the Glens'. It boasts two museums - the Gateway
to the Glens Museum (open all year) and Sir James Barrie's Birthplace
(National Trust for Scotland) which is open to the public from April to
September, and is a fascinating little house to visit.
Tourist Information is provided within the Gateway to the Glens Museum. A statue of Peter Pan greets visitors in the town square, and you can even try Peter Pan ice cream in our famous ice cream shop in town!
