James Alpin McPherson
James Alpin McPherson (1842–23 August 1895) otherwise known as The Wild Scotchman, was a Scottish-Australian bushranger active in Queensland in the 19th century.
==Early life==
The eldest of eight children, McPherson was born in Inverness-shire, Scotland, in 1842, to John, a farmer, and Elspeth, his wife. When McPherson was twelve, his family migrated to Australia aboard the ''William Miles''.〔 After arriving at Moreton Bay on 19 January 1855, John McPherson found work as a farm labourer,〔 while James began school at Ipswich,〔 where he displayed a skill for languages, becoming fluent in French and German.
After finishing his schooling, McPherson first started work at a stoneyard on the corner of Wharf and Queen streets in Ipswich, owned by a Mr. Petrie, before finding work on a cattle station.〔 On the station he began 'tailing' cattle (keeping them near the head station at mustering time) and bought a revolver to practice shooting with in his spare time.〔
