Colonel Scott
Biography
Birth: n/a
Death: n/a
Boswell met a Colonel Scott of the Guards, natural son to the late Duke of Buccleuch in The Hague, together with William Nairne and Andrew Stuart on June 1, 1764. Presumably, the colonel was a son of the 2nd Duke of Buccleuch, Francis Scott (1695-1751). I have hitherto been unable to identify him any further.
