Bon Scott
was a British-Australian singer and songwriter.
He gained notoriety as the lead singer of the Australian rock band AC/DC
from 1974 until his death in February 1980.
The nickname "Bon" has its origins in the term Bonnie Scotland for "magnificent Scotland".
Scott lived with his parents Charles and Isabelle Scott in Kirriemuir, Scotland (near Forfar)
until the family emigrated to Australia in 1952.
First they moved to Sunshine/Melbourne and in 1956 to Fremantle, where Scott learned drums and bagpipes in the Coastal Scottish Pipe Band WA.
He left school at the age of 15 and then worked various jobs as a postman, truck driver and bartender.
