context_page_description: Scotstown is a village in the townland of Bough in north County Monaghan, Ireland. Scotstown is located in the parish of Tydavnet, along the Monaghan Blackwater, Scotstown being the village closest to the river's source. Scotstown is centred in the townland of Bough, but extends into Carrowhatta, Teraverty, Drumdesco and Stracrunnion townlands.
context_section_description: Just outside Scotstown is Hollywood Park recreational area, centred on a lake. A local voluntary committee purchased the lake and its surrounds in 1969, and since then have developed the park with the support of various funding agencies, private donations and Monaghan County Council. The lake itself is stocked with bream, rudd (which locals call roach), perch and pike.
  A number of marked mountain trails are maintained in the nearby Sliabh Beagh area. A tourism centre and hotel have been opened in Corlat as a staging point for these walks.
  A commemorative "famine stone", marking the location where potato blight was first noticed in County Monaghan, can be seen in the nearby townland of Sheskin.
