Personal life
Scott attended Lumphinnans Primary School.[2] In 1941, during the Second World War, he enlisted in the RAF and during a period training in Canada, met and married his wife Jessie.[3][4] Scott returned to Scotland in 1942 and was posted to No. 19 Operational Training Unit at RAF Kinloss.[3] On 26 July 1942, Sergeant Scott, serving as an air gunner on board an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, took off from RAF Kinloss to conduct a cross-country training exercise. The aircraft suffered engine failure in mid-air, caught fire, and crashed into the Dornoch Firth off Tain, killing all 5 on board, including Scott. The Whitley was attempting to get to RAF Tain when it crashed.[5][3][6] His body was not recovered and he is commemorated on the Air Forces Memorial.[3][4]
