Scotts Landing
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. History

Casnell Island (Motu Maunganui), accessible from Scotts Landing at low tide via a causeway, was a pā site in the 16th century. In 1852, the Scott homestead was constructed, later burning down in a fire. This was replaced by a new Georgian-style house, built in 1877. Mahurangi Heads School operated from 1869. It closed in the 1920s or 1930s, but the school building was still standing about 1941. Demographics
