Places of Interest
- Just outside Scotstown, is the Hollywood recreational area, centred around a lake. A local voluntary committee purchased the lake and surrounds in 1969 and since then have developed the park with the support of various funding agencies, private donations and Monaghan County Council. The lake itself is stocked with bream, rudd (which locals call roach), perch and pike.
- A number of marked mountain trails are maintained in the nearby Sliabh Beagh area. A tourism center and hotel have been opened in Corlat as a staging point for these walks.
- A commemorative "famine stone", marking the location where potato blight was first noticed in County Monaghan, can be seen in the nearby townland of Sheskin.
