Dr. William Scott, Clarence Cottage, Ruthwell

[abrach1]

I am wondering if anyone might have access to any local newspapers that would have an obituary for Dr William Scott of Clarence Cottage, Ruthwell. Dr Scott died in Dumfries Infirmary in December 1927 aged 68.
He was born in Keith, Banffshire and was the son of James Scott and his wife Christina Shearer.
He married his first wife Elizabeth Anderson McDonald in Elgin in 1883. She died in Dumfries in 1913 aged 55. He married his second wife Sarah McGillivray in Logie/Stirling in 1916.
I am hoping an obituary might tell me where he was buried.
Thank you
