Alexander Scott (1525? - 1584?) was a Scottish poet. Almost nothing is known of his life, but he is believed to have spent most of his time in or near Edinburgh. Thirty-six short poems are attributed to him, including Ane New Yeir Gift to Quene Mary, The Rondel of Love, and a satire, Justing at the Drum. He has great variety of metre, and is graceful and musical, but his satirical pieces are often extremely coarse. This article incorporates public domain text from: Cousin, John William (1910).
