John Reid has posted a useful list on his Anglo-Celtic Connections blog of regimental histories which have been added to the Internet Archive (www.archive.org), including a few Scottish. Useful to understand what was happening with any regiment your ancestor may have served with.

(With thanks to John)

Very useful to know - especially for tracing ancestors (and their families) who were posted abroad.
