Scottsdale is a town in the north-east of Tasmania, Australia. It lies on the Tasman Highway, around 63 kilometres (39 mi) north-east of Launceston and 22 km (14 mi) south-east of the coastal town of Bridport. It is part of the Dorset Council. Scottsdale is the largest town between Launceston and Tasmania's East Coast and has a rich agricultural and forestry history. Surrounded by green fields and blue mountains, its fertile soil and mild climate are ideal for farming. Hops were once an important crop, however over the last few years many large hop farms have been sold or turned into dairy farms and eucalypt and pine plantations. Today, potato farming, dairy farming, pine plantations, poppy cultivation and mining are all major industries in the Scottsdale area.
