The district now known as Scottsdale, in Tasmania's north-east, was discovered and surveyed by James Scott in 1852–53, and for decades afterward was known simply as "Scott's New Country" — the source of this book's title. The first land was selected there in 1859, and the hamlet that grew up was named Ellesmere; it was renamed Scottsdale in 1893, developing as the district's agricultural, mining and later forestry centre. James Scott is also the namesake of nearby Legerwood. This book, by the Scott's New Country Committee, gathers reflections on the district from its origins through to the early 1980s.
