Notice biographique

Scott was ordained in 1792 and from 1793 served as a chaplain in the Navy. His competence in French, Spanish and Italian was of special use in the Mediterranean. In 1803 Nelson persuaded Scott to go with him to the Mediterranean. Although he was officially chaplain of the VICTORY, he was also able to render efficient service as a private secretary and interpreter. He continued with Nelson on this footing until Trafalgar. Scott afterwards was Vicar of Southampton and in 1816 was presented to the Crown living of Catterick.
See Alfred and Margaret Catty, 'Recollections of the Life of the Rev. A.J. Scott DD, Lord Nelson's chaplain' (London, 1842).
