Falcon Scott

Captain Scott’s only Grandson, and son of Sir Peter Scott, well known wildlife conservationist, founder of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, and co-founder of WWF. Falcon was brought up at the Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust, with his two sisters, and as a child travelled widely with his parents during holidays including expeditions to Africa and to the Arctic.

As a young man Falcon took up a career in civil engineering. Then he started a building business, becoming an artisan builder, building many unique houses, a vocation he still loves to indulge in. He built his own stone house in Argyll, Scotland where he now lives with his wife and family, and runs a self-catering holiday business renting luxury log cabins which he also built himself.

Falcon has always loved being outdoors and exploring wild places, and between building things has travelled to many places. He especially loves the remote parts of Scotland near his home, and has explored the mountains and sea lochs over many years using his own small motor boat, sailing with friends, and on foot climbing most of the mountains.

In 2012 Falcon joined the international team to work as a Heritage Carpenter on the conservation of his Grandfather’s iconic Terra Nova Hut at Cape Evans for the NZ Antarctric Hertiage Trust. The experience was deeply moving for him, and re-vitalised his interest in the family connection to Antarctica. The beauty of Antarctica has inspired him to develope his artistic flair and he now loves to paint the wildlife and landscapes.

He has a daughter, and two sons, who were christened on the RRS Discovery in Dundee.
