Scotts Landing, also called Mahurangi East, is a rural settlement in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. It is at the end of a narrow peninsula on the eastern side of Mahurangi Harbour. Algies Bay is to the north.[3]
History
Casnell Island (Motu Maunganui), accessible from Scotts Landing at low tide via a causeway, was a pā site in the 16th century.[4]
In 1852, the Scott homestead was constructed, later burning down in a fire.[5] This was replaced by a new Georgian-style house, built in 1877.[6][7][5]
Mahurangi Heads School operated from 1869.[8] It closed in the 1920s or 1930s, but the school building was still standing about 1941.[9]
