The Scots School was once the home of John Lee (1824 - 1909). Karralee was built in the late 1860s and the early 1870s and was one of the finest homes in Kelso. John Lee was a breeder of some of the finest cattle and thoroughbred horses in the State. His pure bred shorthorn cattle were some of the finest in the world.

Towards the end of his life John Lee was thrown from his horse when the stable boy jumped off the railing of the yard.
