Heading to Scotland in the near future?  Here are some great links to figure out what you want to see while you're there.

What we learned is the time invested prior to going will save you money when you arrive.  You can really narrow down the specific things you want to do, see, experience and by hearing others experiences via blogs today is a great avenue to learn things you might not in the tourist brochures.  So have fun browsing.  

The first link is really a broad site giving vast information about most places of interest.  You will probably spend much time on this site as I did.
