Teaching jobs in Scotland?

Hi all, I'll be relocating to Scotland for the next academic year and I'm looking at teaching in the Edinburgh/Glasgow area. I have a few questions I hope some of you might be able to answer.

What's the best online source of jobs? I'm looking at the Tes in England, but there don't seem to be many jobs advertised in Scotland - is this because TES is not the main source of jobs for Scotland, or is it the wrong time of year and there aren't many posts available at the moment for next academic here?

What is the best source of job ads for teaching in Scotland?

What's the notice period for teaching job roles in Scotland? Is it half a term for state sector like it is in England?

Many thanks in advance .

Others will be more knowledgeable than me as I don’t currently teach in Scotland but term dates are different. I don’t remember there ever being a May half term when I was in school because the summer holidays start at the end of June/beginning of July. I’m not sure about notice periods either. I do know that there aren’t the same teacher shortages in those areas of Scotland as there are elsewhere in the UK (quite the opposite unless you teach a secondary shortage subject!) you might be best off looking into signing up to supply pools at first. Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable than me will be able to give you more information.
