A one-horse town out in the cabbage-growing [[Sto Plains]], about a day's travelling from [[Ankh-Morpork]], it only note-worthy event is the annual "Scrote and District Agricultural Show".

Mentioned in {{H}}, [[Death]] has some difficulty at the outskirts of this town. While filling in for the [[Hogfather]], he tries to come down a stove that has a pipe chimney. In {{SM}} the tour of [[The Band With Rocks In]] stops here for the night and a show. As the usual attiude of locals to strangers in town is "about this time of day we usually think of a barbecue down by the rockery" and shares something with Roundworld movie ''Deliverance'' in terms of general sophistication and open-handed welcome to travellers, this said something about the power of music to soothe the savage breast.

It could be the home town of [[Scrote Jones]] from the [[Gamblers' Guild]].

Interestingly enough, there is a link to the Roundworld city of Nuremberg, in Germany. An acclaimed opera on the disc is [[Opera|Die Meistersinger von Scrote]], which has its Roundworld referent in Wagner's opera '' Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg''. This must only have been a fleeting association, perhaps a crossed line in the [[Multiverse]] or a single fleeting [[Inspiration Particles|inspiration particle]], as Scrote resolutely refuses any temptation to grow to city size with magnificent cathedrals, opera houses and parade grounds capable of housing the most strident demagogues and a hundred thousand jackbooted followers. Nor has it ever accomodated a war crimes trial some years later for the demagogue's fervent followers.

Indeed, the nearest it gets to a manifestation of any sort of political unrest or dissaffection are the three youths lounging around the livery stables, all swearing that one day, one day, they'll make it big and get out, we're not going to be stuck here all our lives like those three old men sitting outside the tavern nursing pints.

One day, in fact, during the [[Music With Rocks In]] craze, three young men ''did'' escape from Scrote to a fleeting moment basking in somebody else's fame. They called themselves Insanity, among many other names, and ''tried'' to make music...
