My friend and father-in-law Malcolm Scott, who has died aged 86, was a man of varied – and contrasting – talents and interests.
A highly respected physicist whose research has been published internationally, he was also a gifted photographer who enjoyed recording life in rural England. He was an ardent traveller, yet relished being at home on his Worcestershire smallholding. He was interested in technological advances, but lamented the advances of big tech – preferring instead a local shop, a good book and the print edition of the Guardian.
