Hi Pete, the only Scottish location I know that has a nice colony of Puffin is Farne. Google it and you'll find lots of info about the islands.

Hope this helps.

According to The Fat Birder, St Bees is the place to go

The Farnes (boats out from Seahouses in Northumberland) would be the best option, however it is getting a bit close to the end of the Puffin season, they will soon be off out to sea again until next spring.
