One of the highlights of the day-long tribute to Kirrie-born Bon Scott, who went on to front the legendary Australian rock band AC/DC, was the unveiling of a Caithness stone slab in Cumberland Close at 1 p.m.
The memorial now sits alongside similar memorials to three other famous Kirriemarians – celebrated author J. M. Barrie, noted geologist Charles Lyell and mountaineer Hugh Munro – in the shadows on the millennium fountain just yards from the Tourist Information Centre in the little red town.
All the slabs have been carved by internationally renowned sculptor Bruce Walker, and Saturday's ceremony was led by Kirriemuir Community Council, which commissioned the memorial after an idea sparked by member David Milne.
Born Ronald Belford Scott on July 9, 1946, Bon spent his early years in Kirriemuir, before emigrating down under with his family at the age of six.
He was involved with several bands before making a name for himself as lead singer with AC/DC in the seventies.
Details of Bon Scott's biography were delivered by community council chairman Roland Proctor, who revealed that he had been contacted just before the weekend from Down Under by a lifelong friend of the singer, who wanted to pay his personal tribute.
Mr Proctor read a message from Vincent Lovegrove, who first met the then 19-year-old Bon in 1965 and forged an instant friendship which was to stretch right up until the Angus man's death.
Among the crowd was Australian Darren Hill, who now owns Kookaburra's Restaurant on the outskirts of Forfar, but travelled back home in 2005 to a memorial service at the singer's grave.
Mr Hill brought AC/DC memorabilia back for an exhibition mounted in Kirriemuir to coincide with the anniversary of the singer's death and revealed how the weekend's event had also sparked interest from his homeland.
"I was contacted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation Radio on Friday night and did a live interview in which I was asked about Kirriemuir and my own interest in Bon Scott," he explained.
"Bon Scott's music speaks to many generations and I think it's great that they've made this memorial for him."
Following the ceremony in Cumberland Close, local bands, under the stewardship of DD8 Music, performed in the Town Hall, Kirriemuir, throughout the afternoon, the event reaching a crescendo in the evening with a concert featuring an AC/DC tribute band from Edinburgh, supported by three local bands.
Adding to the 'high voltage' musical extravaganza that took place in tribute to Bon, Kirriemuir Tourist Information Centre also held a quiz to remember the town's most acclaimed musical artist.
Bon's name in full, the age he left Kirriemuir, which country he emigrated to and questions on some of the bands most famous hits.
"Bon Scott and AC/DC are one of the most recognised singers and bands across the world and have a huge following of rock'n roll enthusiasts," said Anne Lamont, VisitScotland customer service manager.
"We decided to hold a quiz to coincide with the many great things going on and hopefully enlighten people who come into the TIC of the various things happening in Kirriemuir and the rest of Angus and Dundee. 
"We have such a fantastic tourism product it is great to see British and international fans coming to sample what the area has to offer."
Locals and visitors in the town were invited to fill in the quiz form with a music prize being awarded to the first correct entry to be drawn by Bruce Walker, the local man who sculpted the Bon Scott Plaque, this Saturday.
"Angus & Dundee has such a vibrant city centre, immersed in culture and with a fantastic tourism product that has something for everyone," added Patrick O'Shaughnessy, VisitScotland Angus & Dundee area director.
"I hope that anyone coming to Kirriemuir to take part in the celebration of Bon Scott enjoyed what Kirriemuir and the surrounding area has to offer and is able to return and perhaps see parts they have missed this time round."
