About

Scots Gap is a small rural village nestled in the heart of Northumberland, England, known for its scenic countryside and agricultural heritage. The name “Scots Gap” originates from its historical role as a pass or route used by Scottish drovers moving cattle southward, with “gap” referring to the natural pass through the landscape.

Enjoy sweeping views of rolling farmland, the nearby Rothley Crags, and on a clear day, the distant Cheviot Hills to the north and Hadrian’s Wall winding across the southern horizon.
