​Scotton is a small village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England with a population of 524 in the 2001 census,[2] increasing to 624 at the 2011 Census.[1] It is 3 miles (5 km) north of Harrogate, 1.2 miles (2 km) north west of Knaresborough[3] and is just north of the River Nidd where it flows through Nidd Gorge.[4][5] However, all the watercourses through the village and the parish flow eastwards via the River Tutt and empty into the River Ure, despite Scotton being very close to the Nidd.[6]
