John M. Tait's pretty comprehensive (and often very entertainingly angry) site on the development of language standards for Scots. Lots of useful information and references here from this folksinger's perspective.

Home | St Kilda Soay Sheep Project edit / delete
"The Soay Sheep Project has been running in its current form since 1985, with continuous collection of information about individuals including genetic parentage, morphological data and life-histories. This has enabled ground-breaking research into topics including population dynamics, evolution and genetics, ageing and parasite infection in a natural setting." It turns out Soay sheep are very cute and have terrifying population dynamics.

Dictionary of the Scots Language edit / delete
"The Dictionary of the Scots Language (DSL) comprises electronic editions of the two major historical dictionaries of the Scots language: the 12-volume Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue (DOST) and the 10-volume Scottish National Dictionary (SND)." The introductory material is very interesting.

Tegola -- Rural Broadband in Scotland edit / delete
Comprehensive site -- which grew out of an Edinburgh/UHI/etc. research project -- on building wireless networks in hard-to-serve parts of Scotland. "The other revelation that happened after we had put up our first relay was that they do not have to be tall sticky-up things. Whoever created Scotland provided it with an abundance of tall sticky-up things."

Ordnance Survey large scale Scottish town plans, 1847-1895 - National Library of Scotland edit / delete
High-res scans of the old town plans. I live on Thorter Row, which was built about ten years ago; from looking at the maps of Dundee here, I learned that there used to be a Thorter Row in the city centre about a hundred years before that...
Handy location-based search engine for collections of historical photos, etc. (The question I was trying to answer was "what did Dundee City Square look like before it was flattened early in the last century", which is the sort of thing this appears to be good for.)
