Scotland is an unincorporated community in southwestern Van Buren County, Arkansas, United States, near the head of the South Fork of the Little Red River. In April 2010, a tornado struck this community which resulted in extreme damage.

Education

Public education for elementary and secondary school students is provided by the Clinton School District,^{[1] [2]} which leads students to graduate from Clinton High School.

Scotland was a part of the Scotland School District until July 1, 2004, when that district consolidated with the Alread School District into the existing Clinton school district.^[3]
