 Lachlan Macquarie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lachlan Macquarie was born in the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, a chain of islands off the West Coast of Scotland.
Macquarie's policies, especially his championing of the emancipists and the lavish expenditure of government money on public works, aroused opposition both in the colony and in London, where the government still saw New South Wales as a place to dump convicts and not as a future dominion of the Empire.
Macquarie was buried on the Isle of Mull in a remote mausoleum with his wife and son.
