Brain Game: Ring Ding Diddle

I recently discovered an "add-a-letter" sequence that ran from one to eight. It came to mind that there might be a different way to present this type of puzzle, so I'm attempting something new. Enjoy!

Starting with the eight-letter word SCOTSMAN,
remove one letter and then rearrange the
existing letters to form a new seven-letter word.

Then repeat the process, removing a letter and
rearranging the others to form a new word,
until you're down to a single letter.
