"This is a general Geography site that will act as a starting off point for a number of topics. I have included it here because the settlement sections are particularly good, follow the links to settlement but have a look at the other topics, which are all relevant and pitched at a reasonable level!"
"Written by a geography teacher, this is one of the best sites for Standard Grade Geography! Scalloway.org gives you the facts you need on 12 Geography topics, then tests you on what you know. The thoroughness of the site continues in the revision section - specific hints on techniques and definitions, as well as Past Paper questions to really stretch you. If you're studying Standard Grade Geography, this is one site you can't afford to ignore!"
