This good map of Heimdal's has reminded me that the Sandness school was called, once upon a time: Sandness Madras School. I'm not sure if I ever knew why, it's just something I remember. Will see what my father knows ...

As far as I know from family records, Dr Scott was born at Harden, a large family seat, near Hawick, in the Scottish Borders on 1 Jan.1812. Perhaps someone would like to check this. Undoubtedly he moved to Melby later, but his family (2 daughters and 1 son) were born in Plymouth, Devon.

For what it's worth, the bayanne ancestory site states he was born at Melby, and that while his daughters were born at Plymouth, his son was born at Sheerness, Kent.
