The Scott baronetcy, of Great Barr in the County of Stafford, was a baronetcy created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 April 1806 for Joseph Scott of Great Barr Hall, Member of Parliament for Worcester.
[1] The seventh Baronet, the Reverend Sir Douglas Edward Scott, an only child whose father died when he was just nine months old, was declared bankrupt while curate-in-charge of Winterbourne, Dorset,[1] and again in 1914 while rector of Teffont Evias near Salisbury.
[1] At the time of his death in 1951, the seventh Baronet was living as the paying lodger of a married couple in a small bungalow in Wokingham.
[2] The eighth Baronet, Edward Arthur Dolman Scott, known as Ted, emigrated to Australia at the age of 17, and was living in the Adelaide suburb of South Plympton when elevated to the baronetcy.
[2] His wife, Lady Scott, a hairdresser, was paid thousands of Australian dollars in an out-of-court settlement after suing Bowater-Scott, who had invited customers to "have an affair with Lady Scott", as part of an advertising campaign for toilet paper, featuring a fictitious character of that name.
