Walter Scott fulfilled his father's military ambitions by becoming an accomplished soldier. Scott purchased his son a commission and he joined the army initially as Cornet before being promoted to Captain and Lieutenant Colonel of the 15th King's Hussars. He married Jane Jobson in 1825, but by the time of death in 1847 there was no issue, and the Abbotsford estate passed to his eldest sister's children.
