Archibald Allan Scott, AO (1923 – 28 October 2008) was a South Australian businessman, most well known for his Mount Gambier–based transport, property and media interests.
[1][2] Alongside trucking, he had many business interests in Mount Gambier, including the town's newspaper, The Border Watch, and television station SES8.
[3] Scott was awarded a medal of Order of Australia (OAM) in June 1986[4] and made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in June 2006 for "service to the development of the transport industry, focusing on heavy vehicle driver safety training and through lobbying for improved infrastructure and development of an integrated freight network, and to the community through a broad range of sporting, medical research and aged care organisations".
Following Port Adelaide's victory in the 2004 AFL Grand Final, Williams made the famous speech "Allan Scott — You were wrong!".
His death as one of Australia's richest people led to a highly publicised legal battle over his $600 million fortune among his family.
