I have an answer... Maybe... 
asked:
I'm going to be visiting England for about 3-4 weeks, and I would love to see Scotland while I'm there. But I can't seem to decide where to stay. I would like to see the historical things, but I really want to be in a central place where I'm close to a bigger city but not far from scenery and attractions... Websites would be great too.

Try one of these. If you are staying long term, then guest houses are the most sensible option.
