SHIELHILL BRIDGE, NEAR KIRRIEMUIR.
Kirriemuir, the original of Mr. Barrie's "Thrums," is surrounded by beautiful country on all sides traversed by the Esk and other streams. The spot here shown is about four miles from it, on the north road leading to Tannadice and Brechin, and near Shielhill House, the residence of Miss Lyell. The Esk here affords plenty of capital' fishing, and is very beautiful. About a mile and a half from this bridge the rivers Esk, Prosen, and Carity meet, at a picturesque spot close to an old fortress called Inverquharity Castle, a seat of the Ogilvie family. Kirriemuir itself has a considerable trade in its brown linen. The gable of the celebrated "Auld Licht Kirk "has been preserved in the present building, of which Mr. Barrie laid the foundation-stone in 1893.
