Tour Scotland Photograph Cottage Island of Ulva
Tour Scotland photograph of a cottage on the Island of Ulva off the West Coast of Island of Mull, Scotland. Lachlan Macquarie, was born on Ulva on 31st of January 1762. He is sometimes referred to as Father of Australia. He left when he was 14, and was Governor of New South Wales from 1809 to 1821, the longest tenure of any Australian governor. However, after his long sojourn in India, Australia and elsewhere, Lachlan Macquarie returned to his Scottish homeland, his mausoleum may still be seen at Gruline on Loch na Keal, on the Isle of Mull, within sight of his home island. The mausoleum is possibly the only site in Scotland maintained by the National Trust of Australia.
