Walter Scott-Elliot

Captain Walter Travers Scott-Elliot (9 October 1895 – 14 December 1977) was a British company director and politician who served one term as a Member of Parliament.

Scott-Elliot was from an aristocratic Scottish family based in Arkleton near Langholm, Dumfriesshire, and was educated at Eton.

A frequent contributor to House of Commons debates, he was a member of the executive committee of the National Trust.

In October 1948 he wrote a letter to The Times which accepted the call by dissident Labour MP Ivor Thomas for a political truce and a government of national unity.

Going back to his estate and business, Scott-Elliot retired in the late 1960s and spent most of his time collecting antiques.
