    It's where the A1 meets the A66. There's a service station there and a hotel.

    I've been there so many times I've lost count. I hate the A66.

    It's where you choose which route you're taking into Scotland.
    A1 via Newcastle
    A66
    Or
    A68

    Alternatively, it's where you buy some knock off 15 tog duck feather duvets.

    Didn't buy, but every time I've been at Scotch Corner Services, some bloke in a van has tried to sell something. (admittedly I've not been up there for about 20 yrs)

    I don't know about these days but many years ago it was literally a 90 degree corner.

    It's the affectionate name for a scotch egg because it is round and as such, only has one corner.
