**James William "Jumbo" Scott** (24 September 1903 — 24 August 1949) was a Scottish international [rugby union](/source/Rugby_union) player.

Scott was educated at [Daniel Stewart's College](/source/Stewart's_Melville_College) and played for [Stewart's College FP](/source/Stewart's_College_FP).[1]

A long-limbed, but mobile forward, Scott made his [Scotland](/source/Scotland_national_rugby_union_team) debut in the [1925 Five Nations](/source/1925_Five_Nations), playing all four matches as they claimed the grand slam for the first time.[2] He was a regular fixture in the team from 1925 to 1928, then played a solitary match in both of the next two years, to finish with 18 international caps.[3]

Scott, who worked for a glass manufacturing firm, ended his career playing for [Bradford RFC](/source/Bradford_%26_Bingley_RFC) and remained in the north of England post rugby. He was on the Lancashire committee and served as president of the [St Helens RUFC](/source/Liverpool_St_Helens_F.C.).[3]
