Number of inhabitants by 1.1. 2002: 643. Skotnice is situated 2 km
to the west from Príbor on the left-hand bank of the Lubina river. Skotnice
is located on both sides of the road from Koprivnice. In the middle of
the village the road divides into two roads leading to Studénka and Mošnov.
The village was mentioned first as early as in 1330 in a Deed issued by
Bishop Jindrich Berka. Based on the Deed he sold the bailiff's manor of
Skotnice to Petr II, who owned the village till 1374. At the beginning
the village was in possession of the Episcopal Manor of Hukvaldy. In 1773
there were 15 peasants, 15 smallholders with field, 21 smallholders without
field and 1 miller. The population of Skotnice was following: 214 people
(1835), 440 people (1880), 398 people (1890), 400 people (1967). In 1900
there were 379 Czechs and 20 Germans living in Skotnice. Area of the cadastre
was 395 ha and 29 are. The village derives its name from cattle breeding
(cattle = skot). In past, cattle breeding was very popular. Cattle were
used for feeding as well as for sales. Until 1938 Skotnice was a part of
Moravské Kravarsko. In the middle of June in 1881, construction of a traced
private railway line from Štramberk to Studénka was started. The railway
passed through the territory of Skotnice. As a result of the Munich
Accord, Skotnice, being a Czech village, along with Štramberk, Koprivnice
and Príbor, appeared to be in the Nazi Germany.

Skotnice coat of arms
from
this
website.
Description (in Czech): V únoru 2000 byly obci uděleny Parlamentem České
republiky obecní symboly - znak a prapor.
Heraldický návrh vycházel z historické a razítkové symboliky všech
tří obcí.
Figury dvou zkřížených kos bez násad jsou převzaty z historické pečeti
obce Skotnice z r. 1754, figura do poloviny zkráceného kužele je vyjádřením
radlice ze staré pečeti Skorotína z r. 1787 a současně odkazem na kužel
erbu olomouckých biskupů, k jejichž panství obec Skotnice v minulosti náležela.
Tři šestihroté hvězdy jsou odvozeny z motivu hvězdičky na skotnickém
pečetidle a jejich počet symbolizuje počet integrovaných obcí.
