Im absolutely excited and proud to be here in Kirriemuir to see Bon's statue being unveiled today. I cant wait, its going to be amazing.
You totally deserve this honour our Bonnie Boy, and it has been a long time in coming. See you later.
Rock in peace \m/\m/ I went down to Bellies Brae along with the rest of the AC/DC Fans who came to Kirriemuir to see the unveiling of The Bon Scott Statue from as far as Australia.

Taking a shot in the dark and for those about to rock, if you’re on the Highway to Hell through the mist of time traveling through Kirriemuir and you feel thunder struck and the sounds of Hell’s bells 🔔, take a moment out of your day as it’s a long way to the top and visit Bon Scott because rock and roll ain’t noise pollution! She told me to come, but I was already...
