The "Écossais River" originates from various agricultural and forest streams in the western part of Sainte-Brigide-d'Iberville. This area is located north of the Canadian National railway, south of Autoroute 10, south of route 104 and west of Farnham.[1]

The mouth of the Scottish River empties into a small bay on the west bank of the Yamaska River. This bay also receives the waters of the Sud-Ouest River. This mouth is 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) upstream of the Saint-Césaire bridge over the Yamaska River (route 112) and 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) downstream of the highway 10 bridge.[1]


Toponymy

The toponym "Rivière des Écossais" was officially registered on August 17, 1978, in the Bank of place names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
