TypeSuburbDetailsSaid to be named after Baulkham Hills in Scotland from whence came Andrew McDougall, a local pioneer, a native of County Roxburgh in Scotland. He arrived in the colony in 1798 and was granted 150 acres at Baulkham Hills on 12 August 1799; he named the farm 'Roxburgh Place'. He died in 1824 aged 58. The Scottish Baulkham Hills is now known as Buckholm Hills and is in the north of the County of Roxburgh. The name was in use by 1801 when George Suttor established the first orange orchard.
