Late AC/DC Singer BON SCOTT's Birth Certificate Donated To Museum Tribute
August 5, 2005According to TheCourier.co.uk, an official extract from late AC/DC frontman Bon Scott's birth certificate has been donated to Angus museum's tribute to Scott in Kirriemuir, Scotland — Bon's birthplace and home of his family in his early years.
It was donated to the museum by the General Register Office of Scotland, showing the entry for his birth at 11:30 p.m. on July 9, 1946, at Fyfe Jamieson Maternity Home, in neighbouring Forfar.
Ronald Belford Scott spent his early years in Kirriemuir, where his father, Charles, worked in the family bakery in Bank Street.
In 1952, when Ronald was six, the family emigrated to Australia, where Bon grew up.
A recent addition is a collector's box set of CDs featuring a photo of Bon, aged around 10 in pipe-band costume, complete with kilt, on the inside cover. The box set was issued byAC/DC as a tribute to Bon after his death in 1980.
Visitors to Kirriemuir's Gateway to the Glens Museum have travelled from as far as his adopted home of Australia to make the pilgrimage.
The facility is staging a celebration of the rock icon on the 25th anniversary of him being found dead in a car in London.
"We’ve had people from Germany and Australia signing the visitors book, with others from Ireland, England and across Scotland also popping in," a spokesman explained yesterday.
"We’ve also had e-mails from folk in Brazil asking about the display."
The display will continue until August 20, finishing a week after AC/DC tribute band HELL'S BELLS' show at Kirriemuir Town Hall.
