Shops do still sell road atlases--I'm not the only dinosaur who loves the printed page!

If you're picking up the car at the airport, the ubiquitous WH Smith (newsagent; there are several at the airport) will have them; no problem. Also the Visitor Information Centre, which I think is in the domestic arrivals hall.They may also sell them at the auto rental office (I say "may" because I've never rented a car at GLA).

If you'll be staying in the city or passing through a largeish town, general bookshops (e.g., Waterstones on Argyle Street or Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow) and newsagents should also have them. Some supermarkets and convenience stores stock them.

Motorway service stations will have them, and other service stations may.
