Captain Benjamin Moodie was the 10th Laird of Melsetter who led a party of 200 Scottish immigrants to the Cape Colony in 1817, three years before the arrival of the 1820 Settlers. Moodie served in the Ross and Caithness Militia and returned from the Napoleonic wars in 1815 as a half-pay officer, and was forced to sell the heavily indebted family estate in the Orkney Islands. In 1817 he led a party of indentured Scottish artisans to settle in the Cape Colony. The first party arrived in Cape Town
