Scots

Scots have been in Sydney from earliest European contact, with Forby Sutherland, a young Scottish crew member on the Endeavour, buried at Sutherland in 1770. Scots have played important roles in all facets of Sydney's history. While the Scots can seem to be 'invisible immigrants', without a clearly distinctive culture, Scottish professions, industry, religion and education have been influential in Sydney's development since the arrival of the First Fleet.

Schools

Bellevue Hill

Affluent suburb overlooking the harbour five kilometres east of central Sydney. In the nineteenth century it was home to villas built by the colony's emerging plutocracy. Mass suburban development was helped by the extension of the tram line to Bondi Beach in 1914.
