Vol 2 Pg174of220 Scott Family: Edward I was a man of violent passions, and when he dethroned John Baliol, his rage against all who bore the name was so impetuous, that to avoid the fury of that march the name was changed, and William Baliol le Scot dropped Baliol, and assumed the name of William Scot (See Hasted’s History of Kent). This William Scot was the founder of the family of “Scott of Scott’s Hall, Kent”134946
