The history of the Scottish in Australia began with Captain John Hunter, who came with Captain Arthur Phillip in 1788, and succeeded Phillip as Governor of New South Wales seven years later. There were a number of other Scottish officers in the early years, and of course, a minority of Scottish convicts. The first recorded free Scottish families arrived in the new colony on 18 May 1798.
