Scott registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society after studying at the Royal College, Glasgow, known as 'The Tech’ , which is now Strathclyde University. After qualifying and working as a locum, he undertook his national service in Kenya with the Royal Army Medical Corps. On returning to Scotland, he joined his father’s pharmacy business, McConnell Pharmacy, in Hurlford, near Kilmarnock. Robert McConnell had opened the pharmacy in 1926 and, with Scott’s efforts, it grew to four community pharmacies in the Irvine Valley, which remained in the family until February 2020, with Scott’s daughter, Morag, a third-generation pharmacist.
