Major-General Charles Rochfort Scott (c. 1790 – 1872) was a British Army officer who became Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey.

Military career

Rochfort Scott was commissioned into the Royal Staff Corps where he remained until 1834 when he transferred to the 81st Regiment of Foot.[1] It was in that year that he visited the Labyrinth of Messara at Gortyn in Crete and recorded his impressions.[2] He spent most of 1840 and 1841 surveying parts of Syria; in January 1842 he was transferred to Gibralter and in 1845 to Wales but throughout that time was still completing his maps of Syria.[3] He was appointed Assistant Quartermaster-General in Dublin in 1849[4] but by 1854 he was Assistant Quartermaster-General for the Northern District[5] and in 1857 he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.[6]

He was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey in 1864.[7] He was also Colonel of the 100th Regiment of Foot.[8]
