Robert Scott (died 1592) was a Scottish lawyer and Clerk of Session. He was probably a grandson of Robert Scott of Allanhauch, who was a son of David Scott of Buccleuch. He spent some time in Glasgow, and seems to have had a connection with Irvine. Scott was a "writer", a lawyer who literally had a writing office serving the court of session. His own handwriting first appears in the register of the acts of the lords of council in March 1539. Scott acquired the estate of Knightspotts in Perthshire from Archibald Dundas of Fingask in 1584. He died on 28 March 1592.

  • Robert Scott (died 1592) was a Scottish lawyer and Clerk of Session. He was probably a grandson of Robert Scott of Allanhauch, who was a son of David Scott of Buccleuch. He spent some time in Glasgow, and seems to have had a connection with Irvine. Scott was a "writer", a lawyer who literally had a writing office serving the court of session. His own handwriting first appears in the register of the acts of the lords of council in March 1539. Scott was involved in compiling the record known as the "Register of Deeds" in which contracts were copied to avoid disputes. He copied the marriage contract of Mary, Queen of Scots and James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell. In 1571 Scott loaned William Kirkcaldy of Grange £1000 Scots, despite instructions not to help the Queen's Party. Grange wanted the money to pay the garrison of Edinburgh Castle during the "Lang Siege", and gave Scott some of the jewels of Mary, Queen of Scots as a pledge. After the castle fell, Scott returned a "carcan" or garnishing, circled about with pearls, rubies and diamonds to Regent Morton. He hoped to get his money back in 1581, when Kirkcaldy's heirs were restored to their estates. On 17 May 1575 Scott provided a banquet for the Dean of Moray and Thomas McCalzean, a lawyer working for Agnes Keith, Countess of Moray, in his Edinburgh house. Wine and sugar confections called "scorchattis" were served. The celebration was for completing an inventory of evidence, a compilation of the Countess' property charters. Scott acquired the estate of Knightspotts in Perthshire from Archibald Dundas of Fingask in 1584. He died on 28 March 1592. (en)
