Split ticketing is an interesting concept that may be worth looking into:

Just don't try it on trains that don't stop at the station that you are splitting at, even if they start where you want to start, finish where you want to finish, and pass through the station you are splitting at!Split ticketing is an interesting concept that may be worth looking into:

Um, you don't have to get to the small print to find a pretty crucial substitution - " between any two stations in Scotland". Unfortunate, because I have to say it sounded good!Scotrail are offering a £17 return fare to anywhere in Scotland just now with a Club50 card.
I haven't read any small print, but it looks worth investigating.

An ordinary return allows a break of journey. An advance is for a specific train, so breaking the journey would automatically mean that you are on the wrong train for one part of that journey.
My understanding is that strictly you cannot. In practice the staff probably find the whole thing as bafflingly stupid as the rest of us, and don't always care as much as their employers might like.
