In 1838 Scott built at Lincoln his first church, the design for which won the prize in an open competition, and this was quickly followed by six others, all very poor buildings without chancels; church building in England had then reached its very lowest point both in style and in poverty of construction.
From that time Scott became the chief ecclesiastical architect in England, and in the next twenty-eight years completed a large number of new churches and restorations, the fever for which was fomented by the Ecclesiological Society and the growth of ecclesiastical feeling in England.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts critics | Who was George Gilbert Scott Jr?
Scott Sr was, I suppose, the Norman Foster of Victorian England; forever busy, an inveterate traveller, he ran the biggest and most prolific architectural practice of his day.
Scott Jr's early years (Eton, Cambridge, a fellowship at Jesus College) were cosseted by his father's self-made fortune, and he lived the rest of his life in the imposing gothic shadow of Great Scott.
Giles Gilbert Scott once said: "Grandfather was the successful practical man, and a phenomenal scholar in gothic precedent, but father was the artist." An artist, yes, but how tragic that the Norwich cathedral, Scott Jr's biggest commission, was to prove a denial of his innovative artistry, a return to his father's pedantic form.

By failure of the male heirs of Sir Robert Scott of Murdochstone, from whom derives the ducal house of Buccleuch, the chieftainship of all the Scotts of Scotland, devolved on Lord Polwarth, both families being descended from sons of Sir Michael Scott, who was killed in 1346.
Sir Michael Scott of Murthockstone, son of Sir Richard and the heiress of Murthockstone, was a gallant warrior, distinguishing himself at the battle of Halidon hill, 19 July 1330.
Scott instantly offered him the estate of Murdiestoun by way of excambion; when the bargain was completed, he drily observed that the Curberland cattle were as good as those of Teviotdale, and proceeded to commence a system of reprisals upon the English which was regularly pursued by his successors.
