Scotsburn is a settlement located in the civil parish of Logie Easter, about one mile (1.6 km) west of Lamington and six miles (9.7 km) south-west of Tain, in Easter Ross, Scottish Highlands. It is in the Scottish council area of Highland. In 2011 it had a population of 152.[1] Nearby Scotsburn Wood contains a number of cairns, which were almost certainly erected to mark an ancient battle.[2][3]
Scotsburn House, formerly one of the principal mansions of the parish, was built around 1800–1810.[4][3]
Scotsburn primary school, which opened in the mid 19th century, closed in 1997.[5][6]
