In 1807 Scotland Island was named by  Andrew Thompson after his homeland. Since then the Island has had many owners up until the 1900's when it was subdivided and sold off in lots.

There have been many colourful characters living here, the most notable being the notorious Tilly Devine who was reported to have hidden her ill gotten wealth somewhere on the Island.

Today the Island has approximately 1000 residents from all fields particularly the arts including sculptors, painters, writers, actors along with many other professional people who choose to live here to enjoy the peaceful and inspiring surroundings.

Scotland Island Lodge opened late in 2002 as a boutique guest house for discerning travellers looking for something special off the beaten track in the heart of the magnificent Ku-ring-gai National Park.

Your hosts Rosemary and Colin have travelled and lived in many parts of the world and recently returned.  Whilst overseas they ran a guest house in the English Lake District which won many awards from the English Tourist Board.

They look forward to welcoming you and sharing the magic of Pittwater.
