Breadalbane Situated on the Midlands Highway, 11.2 kilometres (7.0 mi) from Launceston, Breadalbane was named by Governor Macquarie after the Earl of Breadalbane, his wife's cousin. Earlier the district was known as 'Cocked Hat', 'The Springs' and 'Brumby's Plain'.

The Breadalbane area was notorious in the early 19th century for sheep stealing. In the colonial days there were three inns at Breadalbane, The Albion, The Temperance Hotel, and The Woolpack Inn (today, only the Woolpack Inn still stands).

Today, there is an important roundabout at Breadalbane at the entrance to the city of Launceston, and Launceston Airport.
