OTHER NOTES:
Walter Scott was an early settler, surgeon, public servant and magistrate in the lower Hunter Valley. In 1843 his nephew, also called Walter Scott, emigrated from Scotland and became his uncle's manager at Wallalong and later his heir. Wallalong House was retained by the Scott family until 1995.
