FOLLOWING a lifetime in the painting and decorating business, it would be fair to say that Graham Scott brought colour into the lives of everyone he knew. A Souter born and bred, Mr Scott died peacefully at his Hillside Terrace home on Sunday, January 10. He was 87. Graham Scott was born in Selkirk’s Kilncroft on April 12, 1933, to Robert Scott and his wife Jean (whose family name was also Scott). The couple had four other children – Bert, Tom, Margaret and Betty. Educated at Knowepark Primary and Selkirk High School, Graham left school at the age of 14 to begin an apprenticeship with Towns the painters, whose proprietor at that time was Bill Morrison.
