Route
Stott Highway commences at the intersection with Eden Valley Road just south of Angaston and heads in an easterly direction through Keyneton and Sedan, until it reaches the western bank of the Murray River at Swan Reach: the river is traversable by vehicular ferry. On the eastern bank, the highway continues east until eventually terminating at the intersection with Kingston Road in Pyap, just west of Loxton.
History
Previously known as Swan Reach Road, it was renamed Stott Highway in 2008, after Tom Stott, a long-time farmer in, and member of state parliament for, areas traversed by the highway.{{cite web |url=http://www.lga.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/Appendices_1_to_16_AGM_6th_June__2008.pdf |title=Appendices 1 to 16 AGM 6th June 2008 |publisher=Local Government Association of South Australia |date=2008 |accessdate=5 October 2014 |archive-date=6 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190406125349/https://www.lga.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/Appendices_1_to_16_AGM_6th_June__2008.pdf |url-status=dead}}
