Do you know where about you'll be going? It'll be easier to pin point what water is accessible at that time and for your budget. All rivers and most lochs will need a permit, and often -if it's a bigger river- different permit for different sections. Salmon can be extortionate and that could be for a few 100 meters on one side of the river, but that would be mostly on the east side. Some lochs are free, often when they are reservoirs. The sea fishing is free as far as i can remember.
If you know where you'll be you could start looking which water and where to get permits. What i think is most special about fishing in Scotland compare to here is mostly the remote lochs, the scenery can be stunning.
Pretty much all land will be private but there is a 'right to roam' in Scotland so you can access all parts, just be respectful and close cattle gates etc. And it also mean you can do wild camping.
