AC/DC: Scottish Town To Erect Plaque To Late Frontman BON SCOTT?

July 25, 2005

According to The Herald, a fundraising drive is in full swing to erect a plaque to late AC/DC frontman Bon Scott in Kirriemuir, Scotland — Bon's birthplace and home of his family in his early years.

The town's museum, Gateway to the Glens, is currently holding an exhibition entitled Bon Scott – Rock Legend Son of Kirriemuir, featuring an array of musical memorabilia.

Among the tributes is a statue of the singer made out of rock confectionery. Using the same 120-year-old recipe used by the town's Star Rock Shop, Eddie Summerton, a sculptor, has also created 400 sticks of rock emblazoned with the phrase "Let There Be Rock", in tribute to the band's classic song.

The exhibition, which runs until August 20, may not be to everyone's taste, but the town's business community can hardly grumble. The museum's visitors' book reveals French, German and Australian fans all beating a path towards Kirriemuir.
