Scott had four children, Sophia, Walter, Anne and Charles
On the death of Scott’s son Walter in 1847, Abbotsford passed to Scott’s granddaughter, Charlotte.
Mary Monica Hope Scott was born in 1852 and married the Hon Joseph Constable-Maxwell in 1874. They adopted the surname Maxwell Scott.
Major General Sir Walter Maxwell Scott was born in 1875. He married Mairi Richmond Macdougall in 1918 and they had two children, Patricia and Jean.
Patricia Maxwell Scott was born in 1921 and married Harold Boulton in 1944. The marriage was annulled and Patricia reverted to the Maxwell Scott surname in 1951.
Although at one time reduced to just one individual, Mary Monica Hope-Scott, Sir Walter Scott now has many direct descendants in the UK, Australia and Canada.
