If $\mathcal{N}$ is a proper Polish metric space and $\mathcal{M}$ is any countable dense submetric space of $\mathcal{N}$, then the Scott rank of $\mathcal{N}$ in the natural first order language of metric spaces is countable and in fact at most $\omega_1^{\mathcal{M}} + 1$, where $\omega_1^{\mathcal{M}}$ is the Church-Kleene ordinal of $\mathcal{M}$ (construed as a subset of $\omega$) which is the least ordinal with no presentation on $\omega$ computable from $\mathcal{M}$. If $\mathcal{N}$ is a rigid Polish metric space and $\mathcal{M}$ is any countable dense submetric space, then the Scott rank of $\mathcal{N}$ is countable and in fact less than $\omega_1^{\mathcal{M}}$.
