The grave of Sir James Matthew Barrie

Born in the small weaving town of Kirriemuir, Scotland in 1860, he is most remembered for the creation of "Peter Pan" and the world of “Never Land.” In 1929, he gave the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London all the rights and royalties to “Peter Pan” in both the play and his books. That hospital still benefits from this endowment. At the time of his death in 1937 he was Chancellor of Edinburgh University.
