'Francis George Scott' (January 25, 1880 – November 6, 1958) was a Scottish composer.
Born in Hawick, Roxburghshire, he was the son of a supplier of mill-engineering parts. Educated at Hawick, and at the universities of Edinburgh and Durham, he studied composition under Jean Roger-Ducasse. In 1925, he became Lecturer in Music at Jordanhill Training College for Teachers, Glasgow, a post he held for more than twenty-five years.
He wrote more than three hundred songs, including many settings of Hugh MacDiarmid, William Dunbar and Robert Burns's poems.
He is often associated with the Scottish Renaissance.
