Jimmy Shand passed away in December 2000 at the age of 92, having sold millions of records in a career that spanned 70 years. A bronze statue, created by the sculptor David Annand, was erected in his memory here in his home town of Auchtermuchty in Fife. The sculpture was chosen by the Shand family, and was based on a pose of Sir Jimmy from his early performing years in the 50's.
Another statue to his memory is being discussed at present and may be erected in his birth town of West Wemyss in Fife
