LETTER WRITER James
Scott watched and listened to everything that was going on around him and wrote
numerous letters to the national and local papers to air his views. They were
often enhanced by his humour.
WIT There
was never an occasion in lecturing or speaking on special occasions when James Scott failed to introduce humour
and his sense of fun. His letter to the Times on the Piltdown fake is a
marvellous example.
