Rock On Kirrie

A PIECE of artwork currently on sale at Kirriemuir Gateway to the Glens Museum will delight rock fans and those with a sweet tooth alike.

As part of the exhibition at the Gateway celebrating the life of music legend Bon Scott, the rock has been produced by world-renowned artist Eddie Summerton.

The limited edition artwork has a reference to Kirrie born Bon and his musical rock heritage with the 'let there be rock' lettering running through it.

The rock also ties in with the tradition of making sweeties in the town and is on sale at the museum priced £2.

It is 25 years since the AC/DC star's tragic death in February 1980 and the display at the museum celebrates the career of this rock giant.

It features a host of objects, many lent by enthusiastic fans from around the world including rare vinyl albums, photographs, programmes and posters.

The display runs until 20 August 2005.
