Best Answer

No doubt there were some convicts from Scotland in the first years of Australia's penal history.

The authorities in Scotland were known to still be hostile to the concept of emigration to Australia in 1818. The first free Scottish settlers were known to be in Australia before 1820, but they were few. Scottish Immigration increased dramatically after 1820, followed by another wave after 1832.
