Bow to Scotland, bitches!

[The Magic Pudding]

Major-General Lachlan Macquarie CB (31 January 1762[1] – 1 July 1824; Scottish Gaelic spelling: Lachlann MacGuaire[2]),[3] was a Scottish military officer and colonial administrator. He served as the last autocratic Governor of New South Wales, Australia[4] from 1810 to 1821 and had a leading role in the social, economic and architectural development of the colony. He is considered by some historians to have had a crucial influence on the transition of New South Wales from a penal colony to a free settlement and therefore to have played a major role in the shaping of Australian society in the early nineteenth century.[5][6] An inscription on his tomb in Scotland describes him as "The Father of Australia".[7

Central to Macquarie's policy was his treatment of the emancipists: convicts whose sentences had expired or who had been given conditional or absolute pardons. By 1810 emancipists had outnumbered the free settlers, and Macquarie insisted that they be treated as social equals.

My town is named after him, you don't hear much negative said about him.
