This is the largest directory of Scottish Web sites on the Internet with everything from places to go, activities and events to restaurants, art and museums all organised into one directory with 10,000 individual categories. Everything you want to know about Scotland can be found here. An excellent starting point for information.

Proudly boasts that it is 'an information treasure trove for Scotland', and rightly so. This is one of those websites I keep warning you about - you just pop in to take a quick peek, and one hour later, you are still there.

A good place to start if you want to know about Scotland in general. This website is an online guide, and also lists accommodation and has a business directory. The map allows you to select specific areas of Scotland.

Be warned - this is a very naughty site, so if you're easily offended by swearing or sexual inunendo, then this is no place for you. This is Scottish humour at it best (and worst). Hilariious, it takes an irrelevant look at Scotland - and nothing is taboo. Football, religion, sex, politics - you name it, it's there. This is one of those websites that you intended just to have a quick look at, and an hour later, you're still there.

This website has nearly 14,000 Scottish links in 1,101 categories. Anything related to Scotland, it's history, culture, commerce, or personal topics, can be found here.

Investigations into the paranormal in Scotland. Results of investigations, even some photographic and video evidence. If you are interested in the supernatural then take the time to look at the work of Ghost Finders Scotland. Their method of gathering information is painstaking and impressive.

The best way to introduce this website is to quote from its homepage - "The American-Scottish Foundation, Inc. is a nationwide, non-profit American organization whose broad and imaginative purpose is to build bonds of interest and co-operation, both social and commercial, between the people of Scotland and the United States.

The Foundation provides Scots and Americans with a strong, non-political base and general point of contact. This association includes institutions and individuals with cultural, economic, educational, genealogical and travel interests."

This is the official Robert Burns website. The Burns Encyclopedia, a discussion board, poems and songs of Robert Burns and tips on how to organise a Burns Supper. Packed full of information about Scotland's premier poet.

"Our mission is to select, preserve, and make available the national archives of Scotland in whatever medium, to the highest standards; to promote the growth and maintenance of proper archive provision throughout the country; and to lead the development of archival practice in Scotland." This is the website's own mission statement. The NAS is an agency of the Scottish Government headed by the Keeper of the Records of Scotland.
