About Scotland Island
Scotland Island is a 52-hectare residential estuarine island in Pittwater on Sydney's Northern Beaches, New South Wales, located off Church Point and accessible only by water. The island has no roads, bridges or cars, with steep bushland, waterfront reserves and walking tracks. Notable for its car-free, off-grid community lifestyle, Pittwater views and proximity to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, it offers a quiet natural setting within metropolitan Sydney.
