Lieutenant-Colonel Caroline Frederick Scott (ca 1711 to 1754) was a Scottish soldier and military engineer who served in the British Army before transferring to the East India Company. During the 1745 Jacobite Rising, he successfully defended Fort William in March 1746 and later conducted the search for Prince Charles after Culloden in April. He gained a reputation for atrocities and reprisals against Highlanders and has been described as one of the most notorious 'Redcoats' of the Rebellion.
