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.

A heart rending piece of art that somehow reaches deeper than any memorial I have ever seen. That says it all.
4. The Jim Baxter Memorial Statue

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom
This statue stands in tribute to one of the greatest footballer to play for Rangers and Scotland. He is spoken of in such reverence by Rangers and Scottish fans that I know he was truly a special player. Sadly, I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing the man play, but it’s good to see this tribute to the great man in lieu. The statue depicts Baxter as he would’ve been at the peak of his powers, with the ball at his left foot and no doubt about to send another opponent the wrong way.

We visited here on Remembrance Sunday and it was very emotional to witness the pipe players and short service of remembrance at this fine memorial in this strange year when social distancing must be obeyed and crowds could not gather. The monument is right in the heart of the town in a small garden with trees and a very peaceful atmosphere.

A 200-foot spire dedicated to Sir Walter Scott, the famous Scottish poet.
Reviewed By Andrew081 - St. Albans, United Kingdom
One cannot fail to be impressed by the 61m high Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scot (his books included Rob Roy and Ivanhoe) Completed in 1846 the monument, on Princes Street, is blackish in colour giving it an eerie beauty. The spire is decorated with 64 figures representing various characters from the writer’s novels. In contrast to the blackened construction, the white marble statue of Sir Walter Scott, with his dog Maida, that shines. The monument is split into four levels, but there ere are 287 steps up to the top (cost £8).
8. National Wallace Monument

A national hero - a national landmark. For 150 years The National Wallace Monument has been standing proudly on The Abbey Craig, outside the historic city of Stirling, and telling the thrilling story of Sir William Wallace, Patriot, Martyr, and Guardian of Scotland.

The climb up to the top of the Monument is well worth the climb and the viewing of the artifacts within are breath taking, the gift shop is reasonably priced as well, we will be back to climb those stairs again!

After visiting the museum, Burns Cottage and Auld Kirk I love to spend a few hours just walking around, down to Brigadoon, then go up inside the monument to appreciate the views. When quiet this place is so peaceful, lots of benches to just sit and enjoy the views, beauty and peace of this special place

Diane & I fortunately opted to curtail time spent in (rather disappointing) Ft William in favour of a visit here during a National Holidays excursion and were glad we did - the weather was just perfect, crisp & clear with panoramic views of snow-capped hills, including Ben Nevis. A fitting tribute to brave men..........
