PETER PAN AND MOAT BRAE

Peter Pan, starring Philippe de Lacy 1924.

"When the shades of night began to fall, certain young mathematicians shed their triangles, crept up walls and down trees, and became pirates in a sort of Odyssey that was long afterwards to become the play of Peter Pan.

"For our escapades in a certain Dumfries Garden, which is enchanted land to me, was certainly the genesis of that nefarious work".

Peter Pan began at Moat Brae.

Moat Brae is a Georgian town house in Dumfries in Scotland.

As a boy, Peter Pan's author J.M. Barrie played in the gardens of Moat Brae, the 'enchanted land'.


Moat Brae has been neglected.

Now, Moat Brae and its garden are being restored by the Moat Brae Trust.
