Andrew Scott (15 February 1772 – 4 December 1846) was a Roman Catholic bishop who served as the Vicar Apostolic of the Western District of Scotland from 1832 to 1845.
Education and early ministry
He was born in Chapelford, Enzie, Banffshire on 15 February 1772. In 1793, he was compelled to return home at the outbreak of the French Revolution when the college was abandoned. He resumed his studies in Scotland under the direction of Rev. John Farquharson and was ordained to the priesthood at Aberdeen by Bishop Hay on 25 March 1795. Bishop Scott was able to concentrate on the Highland part of the Western District, operating from Greenock and resigning the charge of Glasgow to Bishop Murdoch.
