In the pre-1800 period, we rely heavily on the following records. Being familiar with them will help you progress your family tree beyond 1800:

Wills: https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/.../wills-and-testaments. Note: Many wills from 1513 to 1925 are on ScotlandsPeople but this is not all wills.
Tax records: Scotlands places
Court of Session: Scottish indexes
Deeds: Learning deeds
Sasines - Scottish Property Records: Sasines
Privy Council Records: Privy council, and also see Ancestry
Sheriff Court records: Sheriff records
Burgh Records: Burgh

These are some of the commonly used sources but the NRS has guides on many more: National Research
