Tour Scotland travel video of the Alexander Scott, Bootmaker, Dundee, gravestone in the Parish Church graveyard on ancestry visit to Kilmany, Fife, Scotland. The surname Scott, Scot, Scotts, Scutt, and Scotter, as opposed to its earlier unrelated usage first appears in the 12th century and derives from the Anglo-Scottish border and its medieval border clans. Scott is one of the twelve most common surnames in Scotland. The Scott's clan were one of the most powerful of the Riding Clans of the Scottish borders and rose to power in the turbulent, often violent region, where they conducted fierce raids and battles with neighboring clans.
