Henry (Tup) Scott was born in 1858, the son of John Scott, secretary of the Melbourne Gas and Coke Company, and his wife Elizabeth, née Miller. Henry was a cricketer and physician, who played cricket for Victoria and the Australian Test Team.

He made his debut against the English in England at Manchester from July 10 - 12, 1884. And played his Last also in England against the English Team at The Oval from August 12 - 14, 1886.
