Scothern is a small, unspoilt village in West Lindsey, 6 miles NE of Lincoln, England, with approximately 750 inhabitants.

Scothern has a war memorial, dedicated to the soldiers from the village who died in the World Wars. Its church is known throughout the local area as being a place of great healing and regeneration, with people claiming to have been cured of various cancers after having prayed there, as well one case of the AIDS.

It also has a pub, the Bottle and Glass, and a large primary school Ellison Boulters school, to which pupils travel from the neighbouring villages of Sudbrooke and Langworth.

There is a large coffee shop in Scothern, with a small garden centre attached. The village was previously home to a shop and Post Office in Orchard Close, but this closed in March 1999. There is a nursing home called St. Lukes which is regularly home to up to 30 patients. Scothern is also, according to research funded by Lincolnshire poultry farmers, home to the smallest battery hen farm in northern England, which houses only 12 chickens
