Alexander MacCallum Scott (1874-1928) was Liberal MP for Glasgow Bridgeton.[1]

He won the seat in December 1910, held it as a supporter of Lloyd George's coalition in 1918, but lost it in 1922. Two years later he joined the Labour Party. He was earlier president of Glasgow University Union[2][3] and the first biographer of Winston Churchill (works published 1905 & 1916).

His son, John Hutchison MacCallum Scott was active in the Liberal Party and contested the 1945 General Election at Leeds North and later became involved with Liberal International.
