*Sir Walter "Wicked Wat" Scott
*Birth: 1495, Scotland
*Death: Oct. 5, 1552 Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, Scotland
*Sir Walter Scott, 1st Lord of Branxholme, 3rd Lord of Buccleuch, known as "Wicked Wat", was a nobleman of the Scottish Borders. He was killed in the streets of Edinburgh in a feud with Clan Kerr in 1552 and buried at St. Mary's Kirk, Hawick.
*Walter Scott was the son of Sir Walter Scott of Buccleuch, 2nd lord of Buccleuch, and Elizabeth Kerr, daughter of Walter Kerr of Cessford. His great grandson was Sir Walter Scott, "Bold Buccleuch".
*Walter was knighted on the field at the battle of Flodden on Sep. 9, 1513, where he lost many of his kinsmen.
*In 1542 he was accused of stealing the King's own sheep from the lands of Melrose Abbey; this led to his later nickname "Wicked Wat", (Wat being a regional nickname for Walter).
*Walter first married in 1523 to Elizabeth Carmichael who died before 1530. They had two sons:
*- David; died before 1544, unmarried.
*- '''Sir William Scott of Kincurd (died May 1552), who married Grisel, second daughter''' of John Beaton of Creich, '''sister of his father's third wife. Father of''' Sir Walter Scott, 4th of Buccleuch (1549–1574). '''Grandfather of''' Walter Scott, 1st Lord Scott of Buccleuch.
*In an attempt to resolve the Scott-Kerr feud, in 1530, the widowed Sir Walter married as his second wife Janet Kerr, daughter of Andrew Kerr of Fernihirst. They had no children. They were divorced, and she was still living in 1555.
*Before June 1544, he married his third wife, Janet Beaton (1519–1569), daughter of John Beaton of Creich, widow of Sir James Crichton of Cranston Riddelm. They had five children.
*Scott was walking in the High Street of Edinburgh on Oct. 4, 1552 when a band of Kerrs and their retainers attacked him. John Hume of Coldenknowes ran Scott through with his sword, "shouting to one of the Kerrs 'Strike! Ain strike for they father's sake!'", and when the wounded Scott was found to be alive his body was repeatedly stabbed until he died.
