| | Scottish Placenames in Melbourne, Australia |
 | | According to the Berwick Historical Society (Stephan, 1994) this Melbourne suburb, which started out life as an agricultural settlement, was named after Berwick-upon-Tweed, the English-Scottish border town in Northumberland. |
 | | For comparability with other large cities around the world, Melbourne has been defined as the entire metropolitan area extending from Werribee and Melton in the west to Monbulk, Pakenham and Cranbourne in the east. |
 | | Melbourne historians consider this to be a descriptive name, taken from the name of a cottage occupied by a Captain Bunbury, but it is nevertheless interesting to note that an early name for this area was Scotchman's Hill. |
