Melsetter village is beautifully sited in the hills facing the Chimanimani Mountains on the Eastern border of Rhodesia, about 90 miles south of Umtali the main town of Manicaland. The name was chosen by Thomas Moodie whose grandfather, the last laird of Melsetter in the Orkney Islands, came to South Africa in 1817. In 1892 when the Moodie Trek was on its way to Gazaland, Thomas Moodie wrote to the British South Africa Company: I want to suggest, for the approval of the Company, that the name of my settlement be the Melsetter Settlement.
