You don't say which date you are interested in. Here are some sources to start with:

Skewis (Wales and Scotland), Ayers (Maidenhead, Berkshire), Hildreth (Berkshire)

Both subscription sites Ancestry and FindMyPast have transcriptions of the Scotland Census for 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901. Only the pay to view site ScotlandsPeople has the actual images of the pages, and is the only way to access the 1911 census.

Freecen has some locations for some years, but not every location for every census year as it is still a work in progress. Worth checking out though.
AYRSHIRE - Strachan, McCrae, Haddow, Haggerty, Neilson, Alexander
ABERDEENSHIRE (Cruden and Longside) - Fraser, Hay, Logan, Hutcheon or Hutchison, Sangster
YORKSHIRE (Worsbrough) - Green, Oxley, Firth, Cox, Rock
YORKSHIRE (Royston and Carlton) - Senior, Simpson, Roydhouse, Hattersley
