A former Angus solicitor and Boys’ Brigade stalwart has died at his home. He was 52.
Father-of-two Ken Scott, who worked as an associate with Blackadders in Dundee, died in Carnoustie on Monday.
Mr Scott was born in 1961 and educated at Dundee University. He qualified with LLB (Hons) and DipLP in 1984 and was admitted as a solicitor in 1985. After his training at Thornton Dickie & Brand, Mr Scott became a solicitor at North East Fife District Council before moving to Edinburgh to join the Bank of Scotland’s legal team.

Mr Scott was very active for many years with 1st Carnoustie Boys’ Brigade as a junior section officer and company secretary, and the company said his loss is a huge blow to the community.
