These links do not presume to be exhaustive. There are literally hundreds of web pages, gopher holes, and the like with information of interest to the student of Scottish literature. Any listing of all such resources would be too unwieldy to be useful. However, should you know of a particularly well constructed site that we have not included, please tell us so that we might consider it for the list.
