Inverpeffer
From Wikishire
Inverpeffer was a hamlet in Angus that stood east of the A92 between Carnoustie and Arbroath. The hamlet was inhabited until around 1941, when it was demolished during the building of East Haven airfield.
It was on a return journey from Inverpeffer to Barry in 1797 that loomwright Thomas Lowson fell asleep in grassland belonging to Major William Phillips. Lowson, enamoured of the area, approached Phillips, securing a feu of land, and built the first house in the village that was to become Carnoustie.[1]
Today, a single building from the former hamlet remains, marked as Inverpeffer on Ordnance Survey 1:25000-scale maps.
