Scotby

Scotby

Scotby is a village in Cumbria, England, United Kingdom. It is separated from Carlisle only by the M6 Motorway, and is close to other dormitory towns in the area, such as Wetheral, Cumwhinton and Aglionby.

Scotby School is the main primary school for children living in the area. It has around 250 registered pupils, and its catchment includes Wetheral village and parts of eastern Carlisle. It is in the catchment area for St Aidan's County High School, which is a Specialist Sports College in Carlisle. It is not in the catchment area for William Howard School in Brampton where, despite having to pay their own transport costs, many Scotby pupils choose to go after primary education at Scotby.

There was formerly a railway station on the Tyne Valley Line, however the station was closed in 1959, before the Beeching Axe. The Settle-Carlisle Railway also runs through the village and Scotby also had a station on this line until 1942.

There is a village green in the centre of the village, and the village hall is located above it. Next to the green is the village shop, a pub (the Royal Oak) and a hairdresser's. The village Church is located on high ground adjacent to the Tyne Valley Line railway bridge.

It is part of the Wetheral civil parish.
