Even in the chilly damp cold of a Northeastern January morning in the Wee Red Town of Kirriemuir, the magnificent statue of Bon Scott in the Bellie's Brae Car Park still compels the great singer's admirers to congregate around it in well-behaved worship of their late rock-star hero. It's not an uncommon site here in our tight-knit community. In fact, I drove past a pretty pile of such people, chatting, admiring, taking and posing for photos, this very morning, and watched them awhile ... thought they might be probably Dutch. Anyway, the now well-established long-weekend annual bean-feast to the great Bon ... Kirriemuir's very own "The Bonfest" begins celebrating on May 3, 4 & 5. ... and the local caterers will be braced to provide all they require. Bon Scott is certainly an asset to the interesting little Scottish town of his birth.

The walk to the monument was manageable for all ages. Our group ranged from 3 years old to 65. The 360degree view from the top was tremendous with far-reaching views to the coast and across the mountains. We all enjoyed the afternoon

Has any small hillside town a better centrepiece than The Little Red Town of Kirriemuir? The answer, of course, is a resounding.. "No". "Thrums", as Sir James Matthew Barrie termed this beautiful town, is certainly enhanced by the recent refurbishment of The Square at its centre but the magnificent statue of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, is a joy to behold. A dominating feature of the historic and charming town centre, the statue itself evokes many cherished memories, mainly those of happy childhoods, sunny days, adventurous times and families. It's a magnet for children and adults alike, alive and living in a bustling, but somehow still serene setting where people move around, eat, drink, relax, shop or just window shop, more often simply sit and soak in the absulute pleasure of the area. Kirriemarians are rightly proud of the legacy of J. M. Barrie and the ever-lasting appeal of his greatest creation as a Kirriemuir-born writer ... the world-famous, unique, Peter Pan.

I cycled out to the monument today in lovely sunshine. I have always had a fascination with the polar explorers of a century ago and admire them greatly. The monument is very impressive and speaks volumes of these brave men. When i left i felt that i had shown my respect to them. Please visit the monument and remember the heroes of yesterday.
