First year with a greenhouse

First ever year growing stuff in my new greenhouse and cant wait to get started:j but im new at this growing lark.
Can anyone tell me if there is anything I can plant now, if so what and when? I'd really like a steady supply of veg throughout the year.
Also have bought planters, so when can I plant potatoes in these and what types are best for growing in them.
Please bear in mind im in Scotland so its still cold:mad: and the greenhouse is unheated.
Anyone also give me titles of any books that can help a novice greenhouse owner with tips on growing, planting etc.
Any help would be appreciated:beer:

    Unless you have access to electricity to have heated propagators, I'd hold off for now. Winter's not done with us yet :(

    Greenhouse is unheated.
    So what can be grown first and when do I start to plant seeds etc.
