George Peter Burt (11 November 1886 — 20 January 1935) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and businessman.
The son of Peter Burt, he was born in November 1886 at Dennistoun, Lanarkshire.[1] Burt was a club cricketer for Uddingston Cricket Club, whom he captained for several years.[1] He made two appearances in first-class cricket for Scotland against Ireland at Dundee in 1924, and Lancashire at Old Trafford during Scotland's 1925 tour of England.[2] Described as a stylish batsman and one of the best Scotland had produced,[1] he scored 35 runs in his two first-class matches, with a highest score of 26.[3]
Outside of cricket, Burt was the director of the Acme Wringers company based in Bridgeton, Glasgow. He died at a nursing home in the Aberdeen suburb of Bieldside in January 1935, following a short illness; he was predeceased by his wife.[1]
