Jean Maxwell-Scott

When she was five, her father married Marie-Louise, Madame des Sincay, daughter of Major John Logan of the US Cavalry.

[1] Her sister inherited Abbotsford on their father's death in 1954,[4] and ran the house as a visitor attraction for the rest of her life.

Not long before she died, she bemoaned the ignorance of visitors to the house:"Only the Russians and eastern Europeans seem to read any Scott at school ... Now it's sometimes, 'Where are his Antarctic things?'

"[5]In 1959, she was appointed lady-in-waiting to Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, who lived nearby, a role she held until her death in 2004.

[5] Her horse, "Sir Wattie", which she co-owned with Susan Luczyc-Wykorski, was ridden by Ian Stark at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Seoul, winning two silver medals.
