I always use thetrainline.com (http://www.thetrainline.com/buytickets/?)

The further in advance you buy the cheaper they are - can get Thurso - Aberdeen one way for less than £20! It's also often cheaper if you buy two singles rather than a return.

sometimes it is cheaper to buy a ticket part of the journey then another for the remainder of the journey - you have to keep searching on train-line which I find the best site for checking prices.

Had to go from Aberdeen to Edinburgh return one day - just been to dentist day before when tooth broke, so very quick visit needed. Cheaper to buy a return ticket to Dundee and a return from Dundee to Edinburgh - think it was about £20 cheaper that way.

Just checked some tickets on train-line for Inverness-Edinburgh £10 for single £32 on way back but got them on the Club 55 offer - £18 return for when I needed to be back, could not get the first class which was £21 (I think) as not available
