He is largely remembered as a religious researcher and author. His "magnum opus" is the comprehensive, multi-volume work, <i>Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae: The succession of ministers in the parish churches of Scotland, from the reformation, A.D. 1560, to the present time</i>. This is a detailed, biographical record of each of the ministers of each of the parishes of the Church of Scotland from 1560 to 1870. (It also refers to earlier priests/ministers, where possible). It was first published between 1866 and 1871 but it is regularly updated by the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Scotland" title="Church of Scotland">Church of Scotland</a>. </p><p>The project took him 50 years and covered 760 parishes (often with more than one church per parish), including parishes which were either gone, amalgamated or fleeting in existence. Volume 1 was in part aided by Dr Gordon of Newbattle, Dr Struthers of <a href="/wiki/Prestonpans" title="Prestonpans">Prestonpans</a> and <a href="/wiki/David_Laing_(antiquary)" title="David Laing (antiquary)">David Laing</a>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

However, it was not well received in the literary world, as it is hardly "bedtime reading". Of 250 copies printed less than half sold. Nevertheless, it is a truly outstanding academic work of research. Scott became somewhat depressed regarding the huge task he had taken on, especially when starting to lose his eyesight in later life.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

His mother opened a small shop in Haddington in order to survive. Hew was apprenticed to an <a href="/wiki/Ironmonger" class="mw-redirect" title="Ironmonger">ironmonger</a> around 1803 and spent evenings selling stationery door-to-door. Around 1810 he opened his own shop, selling books. </p><p>Through his mother's relatives in Coldingham he appears to have met <a href="/wiki/George_Dunbar_(classical_scholar)" title="George Dunbar (classical scholar)">George Dunbar</a> who despite both poverty and disablement managed to gain a degree at <a href="/wiki/Glasgow_University" class="mw-redirect" title="Glasgow University">Glasgow University</a>. He applied for <a href="/wiki/Edinburgh_University" class="mw-redirect" title="Edinburgh University">Edinburgh University</a> and matriculated in 1813. He studied a wide range of subjects and said "had the [Napoleonic] war continued, he would have been an army surgeon rather than a minister". Part of this period would now be called "working his way through college" and twice he was employed as assistant librarian in the Edinburgh university in exchange for his university fees. In 1816 he transferred to <a href="/wiki/King%27s_College,_Aberdeen" title="King's College, Aberdeen">King's College, Aberdeen</a> and it was there where he got his first MA. He graduated in divinity (as a second degree) in 1820. </p><p>At some point during his Edinburgh studies he met the antiquarian <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Thomson_(advocate)" title="Thomas Thomson (advocate)">Thomas Thomson</a>, and assisted Thomson in some huge projects of assembling information from public registries. This appears to have sparked the idea of Fasti: an amalgamation of every parish record into one place. This paralleled <a href="/wiki/John_Le_Neve" title="John Le Neve">John Le Neve's</a> <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fasti_Ecclesi%C3%A6_Anglican%C3%A6&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Fasti Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ (page does not exist)">Fasti Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ</a></i>. </p><p>Although licensed to preach in 1820 he was not ordained until 1829, and this was to a post in <a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a>. <a href="/wiki/David_Laing_(antiquary)" title="David Laing (antiquary)">David Laing</a> intervened though and got him to stay in Scotland (much to his economic disbenefit). He had a series of minor roles as assistant at variously, <a href="/wiki/Garvald,_East_Lothian" title="Garvald, East Lothian">Garvald</a>, <a href="/wiki/Whitekirk" title="Whitekirk">Whitekirk</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cockpen" title="Cockpen">Cockpen</a> and <a href="/wiki/Temple,_Midlothian" title="Temple, Midlothian">Temple</a>. Not until 1839 did he get his first position as full minister: presented for <a href="/wiki/Anstruther" title="Anstruther">Anstruther</a> Wester by Sir Windham Carmichael Anstruther in replacement of Rev Dr Carstairs. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Disruption_of_1843" title="Disruption of 1843">Disruption of 1843</a> he was asked why he did not "get out" to which he replied "I had too much difficulty to get in!". </p><p>In 1867 he received an honorary Doctorate of Divinity (DD) from <a href="/wiki/St_Andrews_University" class="mw-redirect" title="St Andrews University">St Andrews University</a> mainly for his work on Fasti (which was first published in 1866). Hew probably sighed a huge sigh of relief on publication, before realising within two or three years that the work had to be updated regularly in order to retain its value. It therefore became a never-ending project. </p><p>He died on 12 July 1872 in <a href="/wiki/Anstruther" title="Anstruther">Anstruther</a>. </p><p>His will endowed a "Scott and Dunbar Prize" at
