I thought Scotch Corner was on the North Yorkshire/County Durham border on the A1

Scotch Corner is nowhere near Birmingham.
Its on the A1 near Darlington in North Yorkshire, must be nearly 200 miles from Birmingham

There is no Scotch Corner in Birmingham. It is located in North Yorkshire on the A1, see map link.

To be fair, it IS north of Birmingham ...
Evidently, the name originates from it being the junction where the road to eastern Scotland separates from the road to western Scotland.

It's to confuse invading Picts and other woad coloured folk; stops them getting to Wolverhampton - you turn right/left at a corner. Maybe???
