Murrr Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Public holidays are banging. Made the most of mine today. Drove down to Glen Clova to bag a couple of Munros. Stopped for a sandwich in Corrie Fee on the way down, which is, frankly, one of the most stunning places I've ever been. Headed back to Kirriemuir for an "award-winning" ice cream. Then went to my mate's on the way home for "a cup of tea," which turned into a roast chicken dinner. Lovely stuff. Tremendous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to have been up Mayer and Dreish instead of in the office today. We're planning to do them at the weekend but looks like it might be pissing down.

A bit disappointing -- will definitely be going down there on a nicer day. Corrie Fee is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We walked up Corrie Fee a couple of years ago but it was late autumn and we didn't leave enough time to do the munros, though we got most of the way up the first one before we turned back. If you start from the Clova hotel there's a great walk up to Loch Brandy as well with an option of a walk up to Ben Tirran too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Kirrie a few times and never heard of this award winning ice cream. Went to a place not too far away called Titanic and got pizza though. That was delicious. Tasted like angels. Hot cheesy angels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've been to Kirrie a few times and never heard of this award winning ice cream. It'll be from Visocchi's in the town centre. Italian cafe and ice cream shop, very hard to miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Didn't spend to much time in the centre apart from trying to get a currymuir but it being closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hold on, there's an Indian restaurant in Kirriemuir called Currymuir? That's amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 My spelling might be off, but yeah there is. I used to love going to Kirrie to see my ex's really hot mum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Think it's called Kurriemuir. Much of a muchness really. Unfortunately it was too early to sample said establishment, and I'm not sure if I ever want to go back after seeing the Peter Pan statue. Properly ruined my day, that. I was expecting something as incredible as Dundee's swaggering Desperate Dan statue -- instead, I got some little green pube noncing around with a flute. Total bullshit. Fuck Kirriemuir. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I am a massive fan of the Desperate Dan statue in Dundee. It makes the Venus de Milo look like puke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plans to build a statue of Bon Scott in Kirrie at some point, that would hopefully show the boy who never grew up how it should be fucking done. At least you managed to avoid going to JM Barrie's house. If you're ever back in Kirrie and feel tempted to go there, don't bother. However I do recommend the Camera Obscura on a nice day. Apart from that the best thing about Kirrie is the road to the glens as you've already discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Mushrooms. Isn't it funny how you can go your whole life and absolutely despise something, then one day you have some and it suddenly tastes awesome? That's me with mushrooms. In the space of like 6 weeks I've gone from shuddering every time I find one lurking in my food, to "has this got mushrooms in it? No? Then take it the fuck away and bring me something that does". I put mushrooms in everything now, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
