Following six months sidelined with a shoulder injury Scott made his comeback in a 28-13 win over Cardiff Blues at BT Murrayfield.
But the strong return was followed by disappointment in Parma as Edinburgh succumbed to a third consecutive loss to Italian opposition for the first time in their history.
However, while Scott admits the loss was hard to take he is confident the side can recover from the disappointment.
"Everyone is gutted after that," he told the Herald. "There were a couple of decisions that did not go our way but we need to take the referee out of the equation.
"We had enough territory and ball to win that game, they had a couple of yellow cards and we did not capitalise on that. We coughed up too much ball in the first half, it was just really disappointing.
"Sometimes a loss really focuses your mind and we will be looking carefully at what went wrong.
"Personally I am feeling rusty after six months out, there were a few things I was not happy with, and I'm sure it was the same for everyone. We will all take responsibility and come out firing next week against London Welsh.
"I thought we had turned a corner and could grind out these results. We need to be tougher on ourselves about not making silly errors at key times. I am confident that we will regroup, but it is frustrating."
