The 'most Scottish town in Australia' that hosts its own annual Highland games

Scottish culture and heritage has spread all across the world over the years.No matter where you are around the globe, you are unlikely to ever be too far from someone or something that has a connection to Scotland.

To prove this point, the Daily Record is journeying to Australia all the way on the other side of the planet. Despite being around 24 hours away by plane, the Oceanic country has strong ties to Scotland as a result of the British settlers that colonised it back in the 18th and 19th centuries.

As we've covered, many towns across Australia still have Scottish names to this day.There is one destination in the country that goes much further with its connection to Scotland, however.

In fact, according to ABC News, Maclean in the country's state of New South Wales is "the most Scottish town in Australia".Named after Scotsman Alexander Grant McLean, who acted as the New South Wales Surveyor-General in the 1860s, Maclean is around three hours away from the city of Brisbane by car.
