Remember that standard English is now treated as a foreign language since the Scottish Parliament passed the "Parliamo Scots Act (2006)" and you may find places in the country where English may not be spoken or understood. These are usually in urban centres, but some rural areas (typically Aberdeenshire) also have moved quickly to embrace this new law. In case you don't have a phrase book yet I would suggest that you look at the material available on this site which you may want to print out and carry with you.
http://www.rampantscotland.com/parliamo/blparliamo_phrases.htm or
http://www.dundonianforbeginners.co.uk/
which is my own native language.
Does anyone know of a PDA translation programme that is up to date with this yet?

Don't worry too much Francis, and use your best French Accent to say "I'm French, I'm lost" and I am sure that our Scottish colleagues will go the extra-mile to help you out... 
My guess is that, like the Alsatian with the Germans, they only pretend not to speak English and will do their best when they realize that you are not one of their southern brethren... 
Of course our scottish friends will probably confirm this better than I can... Georgia On My Mind...
