According to Thecourier.co.uk, locations for a statue of AC/DC legend Bon Scott have been identified in Kirriemuir.
Organising group DD8 music has unveiled three locations - the Square, High Street and Cumberland Close, near Scott’s former family home - where the figure could be placed.
The group plans to open a public consultation asking residents on the best place to put the statue.
Bon Scott had lived in Kirriemuir for a number of years before emigrating to western Australia in the ’50s.
On February 19th, 1980, Scott, passed out after a night of heavy drinking in a London club called the Music Machine. He died of acute alcohol poisoning - death by misadventure.
Bon Scott’s legacy with AC/DC began with 1975’s High Voltage and sadly ended with 1979’s Highway To Hell.
