From the surname database:

Recorded in a wide variety of spellings including Scrimgeour, Scriminger, Scrymegour, Scrimger, Scriminger, Skrimshire, and Scrimshaw, this is an Anglo-Scottish surname of Old French origins. It ... was occupational and described a fencing master ... Early examples of the surname include: William Lescermissur of Suffolk in 1180, and Symon Leskirmisur of Essex in 1221. The family of Scrymegour held the position of hereditary standard-bearers of Scotland for at least three centuries, and for his services in this office, Sir Alexander Schyrmeschur was granted lands in Forfar in 1298, and later became Constable of the Castle of Dundee. Sir James Scrymgeour, a favourite of James V1, succeeded to the hereditary offices of standard-bearer in 1576, whilst John Scrymgeour, was created Earl of Dundee in 1660. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Richer le Schirmissur, which was dated 1154, in the charter known as the "Documents relating to the Danelaw", for Lincolnshire.

SO, this guy helped lots of non-Caucasians grow up to compete with his descendants? Does he have any?

Yet another example of white people helping colored people today. Almost never the reverse.

Scrimshaw probably did more to help Guatemalans than any Guatemalan ever has or ever will. They'll probably reproduce up to the limit of the now higher carrying capacity and end up just as dumb as stunted as they are now. Just like after the Green Revolution, the tropical peoples turn improvements in production to more people instead of higher per capita income.
