J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was inspired to write Peter Pan after having played in the garden behind Moat Brae House between 1873 and 1878.
The house was used as a nursing home till 1997, since then it has been extensively vandalised inside.
Recently there has been a Moat Brae Building Preservation Trust set up to try to preserve the building.
There was a peter pan sculpture on a plinth in the garden but that has disappeared.
So the house and garden of Peter Pan lie derelict and abandoned for now.
