Biographies

STOTT, ROBERT (1858-1928), police commissioner, was born on 13 July 1858 in the blacksmith's croft at Nigg, Kincardineshire, Scotland, son of James Stott, fishery overseer, and his wife Catharine, née Cruickshank. Of his early life nothing is known, save that his correspondence shows that he had a good education. He served with the Lancashire constabulary and migrated with three friends to Australia in 1882. In August he joined the South Australian Police Force as a foot constable, 3rd class, but in December 1883 transferred to the Northern Territory Police, becoming a mounted constable who often went on long patrols. For a decade he was posted at Burrundie, Roper River, where the 'blacks were wild and the “cattle-duffer” had free scope', but he also spent time at the Victoria River. At Palmerston (Darwin) on 27 November 1899 he married English-born Mary Duggan at the Wesleyan Church; after her death, on 21 April 1902 at Darwin he married Agnes Heaslop of Cooktown.
