John Scott & Miller History
The company was founded as John Scott by Sanday native John Scott at the end of the 19th century as a licensed grocer, but quickly began to sell hardware goods as well. Business continued to grow and the company moved from 3 Bridge Street to 15-19 Bridge Street.
In 1915, following the death of John Scott, the company was purchased by Robert Marwick and Ralph Miller. After Robert’s sudden death, Ralph Miller took over full responsibility for the company.
On 29 December 1955, the firm was incorporated and changed its name from John Scott to John Scott & Miller Ltd. Around this time, Ralph’s son, Robert Firth Miller, started to run the business, continuing until the early 1980s when his own son took over.
