Scothern is a village and civil parish in the district of West Lindsey, in rural Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles north of Lincoln. It sits amid gently rolling farmland with a compact historic core of stone and brick cottages and a church tower visible from surrounding fields, giving a strongly rural character while remaining within easy commuting distance of the cathedral city.
The local economy remains rooted in agriculture alongside commuters and small local businesses, and community life is centred on the village hall, seasonal fetes and clubs. Preservation of listed buildings and the surrounding countryside is important locally, so the village combines visible historic roots with the everyday social rhythms of modern village living.
