Scott, age 31 from Cumbernauld, has been a valued supporter and great friend to Erskine’s Veterans since 2015, attending fundraising events and the charity’s yearly Sporting Senior Games, where his presence and encouragement prove highly motivational to residents.
Hailed as one of the most inspiring athletes to come out of the 2018 Winter Paralympics, Scott is currently training to compete at the 2022 Games in Beijing in Para Nordic Skiing.
Speaking about his appointment, Scott said:
“It is a tremendous honour to be named as an Ambassador for Erskine Veterans’ Charity. Erskine has been setting the standards for Veterans’ care for over a century, and seeing the incredible work they do gives me, and fellow Veterans, real confidence in the life-long availability to us and our families.”
