Scotch Road, Historical mountain road in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, Canada

Scotch Road is a mountain pass through the Laurentian Mountains extending from Autoroute 50 and Route 148 at Grenville to Harrington Road in Quebec. The route connects Grenville village with Kilmar while cutting through rolling, forested terrain.

Scottish settlers established farms and timber operations along this route in the early 1800s, which led to the founding of a post office and school in the area. The region grew as an important settlement center with sustained economic activity.

The road carries names of early settlers like McPhee, Cameron, and McVicar, whose graves rest in the local cemetery and reflect the Scottish heritage of the region. These names remain visible in the area today and serve as reminders of the community's roots.

The road surface is in poor condition due to limited maintenance and heavy use, requiring careful driving. Visitors should check local conditions ahead of time and consider alternative routes during bad weather or low-season periods.

The Dominion Timber and Minerals Railway ran alongside this road from the 1930s to 1981, serving as a key transport system for local resources. Traces of the historic rail line remain visible today and tell the story of the region's industrial past.
