Claymore Road, Singapore (2 August 2017)


Claymore Road is a minor road in the Orchard area of Singapore. It was named after Captain William Scott, whose name is immortalized in nearby Scotts Road. Claymore was the name of the house and plantation belonging to Scott, who relocated from Penang following the establishment of Singapore. His father, James Scott, was the business partner of Captain Francis Light, who established Penang.

Scott's Claymore Estate was the third largest plantation in the area, spanning the breath of Orchard Road to Tanglin Club. It was planted mostly with nutmeg, as well as sea-cotton, arrowroot, cocoa, betel nut, and some fruit trees.

William Scott passed away in 1861 and was buried at the Fort Canning Cemetery.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
