The one page Guide to Scottish Tourist Board information
This should be provided by the Scottish Tourist Board but isn’t.
The Scottish Tourist Board, as such, does not trade any more, but Scotland's visitors still use the term when searching the web. So Scotland Tourist Information can be quite difficult to get it all in one easy to manage page. This is it.

Self catering for Scotland's Tourists. Over
10,000 properties available in Scotland. For late availability in top properties especially in the low season, you try this. Get good how to find your holiday home tips using the internet. This page gives you 20 of the best holiday properties all over the country. The grading system used by the trading arm of the Scottish Tourist Board is fairly reliable in a technical way but not based upon what tourists want. Don’t expect it to grade the view, or the welcome you’ll get. If you want a five star experience and prices then they are very good for this. Here are the local VisitScotland organisations. Strange that the best list of the offices is on someone else's private site.
Eating out for the Scottish tourist
This excellent clean site gives you all the local listings, very good. A Taste of Scotland
Events in Scotland
The best list is the VisitScotland site but it is very irritating to see events that finished months ago, and events for three months ahead, not listed (it is October)
Scottish Cities. Edinburgh is the capital, very famous for Princes Street, the gardens and the magnificent castle, Glasgow is the fun city, Aberdeen for fishing fleets and oil rigs, Inverness for the North. Glencoe, a village, is a gorgeous centre for touring the renowned Highlands
