About Scotchmans Lead
Scotchmans Lead, a rural locality 6 km (3.7 statute miles) from Buninyong, in South Western Victoria, Australia, sits between the Yarrowee River, Midland Highway and Scotchmans Lead Road. The locality was renamed Scotchmans Lead from Yarrowee following a proposal by the Ballarat City Council to restore its historic name. A gold-mining hamlet after the lead was discovered in 1857, it retains a farming character today.
