Tom Scott (1875–1947) was a Scotland international rugby union player.
[1] In 1895, whilst noting Scott's resemblance to Tom Scott—the Scotland international forward of the same name—as a 'dead snip' when the back was still uncapped, the Glasgow Evening Post went on to state that Gedge, Gowans and Scott were unexcelled as the best half-backs in Britain.
It was discovered that the rugby commentator Argus Junior of The Hawick Express referred to Tom 'Langholm' Scott and Tom 'Melrose' Scott to differentiate the players in his rugby column.
[7] As a mark of respect in the wake of Scott's death, it was noted that Langholm players wore black arm bands when playing in the Hawick Sevens of 19 April 1947.
[8] His brother James Alexander Scott played for Langholm and was capped by South of Scotland District in 1898.
