It flows east for a few tenths of a mile and enters a valley. The stream then turns south for a short distance before turning east again. After a few tenths of a mile, it turns east-northeast for several tenths of a mile. It then turns east and crosses a road before reaching its confluence with Black Creek.[2] Geography and geologyThe elevation near the mouth of Scotch Run is {{convert|725|ft|m}} above sea level.[3] The elevation near the source of the stream is between {{convert|940|and|960|ft|m}} above sea level.[2] Scotch Run is fed by springs.
