Description: Born in Scotland in 1946, Ronald Belford Scott emigrated to Australia with his family in 1952. As a child he grew up in the Perth suburb of Spearwood, later moving to London in the 1970’s where his band AC/DC battled for world recognition.
His ashes are scattered at the cemetery’s Garden of Remembrance where fans leave whisky on his death and birthday anniversaries. The statue commemorates the Scott, who succumbed to alcohol poisoning in 1980.
