Hi Dianne,

A quick look about………

I would imagine you have seen this:

But I did note that you made no mention of Robert’s title as “Sergeant” indicating his service in the military or volunteers of Roxburghshire. And that perhaps a company name appears to be mentioned in association with what appears to be a rather large sheep operation.

**
Also
I noted a “possible” will at Scotlands People:

You searched for: Surname: "Scott"; Forename: "Robert*"; Year From: 1870; Year To: 1875; Court / Commissariot: "Jedburgh Sheriff Court";
No Surname Forename Date Description Type Court Reference
1 Scott James Robert Hope 08/08/1873 formerly of Lochshiel, Barrister at Law, London Continued to SC62/44/55/p1 Jedburgh Sheriff Court SC62/44/54
2 Scott James Robert Hope 08/08/1873 formerly of Lochshiel, Barrister at Law, London Continued from SC62/44/54/p831 Jedburgh Sheriff Court SC62/44/55
3 Scott Robert 09/01/1873 Feuar at Kirk Yetholm Jedburgh Sheriff Court SC62/44/53
►►4 Scott Robert 11/01/1873 Farmer at Wilton Jedburgh Sheriff Court SC62/44/53
5 Scott Robert 29/01/1873 Feuar in the Parish of Kirk Yetholm Bond of Caution Jedburgh Sheriff Court SC62/44/53

But the date is off….
