Biography
Scott was born in 1910[1] and was a member of the Craigentinny BC, Edinburgh and then the Errol Bowls Club in Perth.[3]
He represented the Scotland team,[4] at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinbugh, Scotland,[5] in the pairs event, partnering Alex Henderson. The duo finished one place outside of the medal positions in fourth place.[6] At the time of the Games he was a first-aid attendant.[1]
Four years later, he won a bronze medal in the men's fours at the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, with Morgan Moffat, John Marshall and John McRae.[7][8]
Scott won the pairs with Henderson at the Scottish National Bowls Championships in 1968[9][10] and subsequently won the British Isles Bowls Championships the following year in 1959.[11]
