About

Kirriemuir and Dean ward encompasses a mix of rural settlements and farmland in central Angus. The area is centred on the market town of Kirriemuir, which functions as a local service hub. The landscape is characterised by rolling agricultural land and the presence of the Dean Water, a tributary of the River Isla. Glamis Castle, a historic seat of the Lyon family, is a significant landmark within this ward's boundaries.

The ward extends into the southern foothills of the Grampians, including parts of Glen Clova. This geography supports a mix of arable farming and livestock rearing. Kirriemuir is noted as the birthplace of J.M. Barrie, with local museums dedicated to his legacy. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the larger coastal settlements to the east, focused on its inland agricultural and historical character.
