Walter Coutts

Sir Walter Fleming Coutts (30 November 1912 – 4 November 1988) was a British colonial administrator and was Uganda's final Governor before independence, from 1961–1962. He was Governor-General of Uganda 1962–1963. He was chosen for this job because he had a reputation within the colonial office for supporting African nationalism and African independence movements.

He was educated at Glasgow Academy, the University of St Andrews and St John's College, Cambridge.
