Joe Scott Plummer, who has died aged 79, was a popular master of foxhounds in the Scottish Borders and chairman of the Edinburgh-based investment firm Martin Currie.
Scott Plummer joined Martin Currie – where he was managing director from 1996 and chairman from 2001 to 2005 – after a first career with the stockbrokers Cazenove & Co in London. It was a move which enabled him to return to the Borders, where he had been brought up, and to indulge his passion for the chase as a joint master of the Duke of Buccleuch’s Hunt from 1981 to 2007.....
Patrick Joseph Scott Plummer was born at Kelso on August 24 1943, to Humphrey Scott Plummer – a farmer and factor to the Duke of Sutherland – and his wife Pamela, née Balfour, daughter of the 2nd Lord Kinross....
A keen amateur actor and choral singer since his youth, he was also a stalwart of the Kelso Amateur Operatics Society, appearing in productions of Oklahoma! and South Pacific.
Meanwhile, in 1970 he had inherited from a cousin the Netherhall estate at Maryport, Cumbria, with the remains of a Roman fort and an abandoned mansion which had been the seat of the Senhouse family – one of whom, in 1570, had founded an important collection of Roman military altar stones and inscriptions.....
Scott Plummer hunted three days a week last season but in April this year he was stricken (as Doddie Weir had been) with motor neurone disease.
Joe Scott Plummer married, first, Elizabeth-Anne “Lulla” Way, with whom he had a son and a daughter. The marriage was dissolved and he married secondly, in 1977, Christine Roberts, née Bampfylde, with whom he had another son; she and his children survive him.
