Our Story
The origins of Scotchmans Hill begin with a family's affection for the Bellarine Peninsula. George Cornelius Browne constructed a seaside cottage in Portarlington in 1946. His son David Browne and the Browne family later bought an old dairy farm overlooking Port Phillip Bay and named it Scotchmans Hill.
