When going to view a property to rent would it be a bad idea to tell the landlord you only intend to rent for 6 months (the shortest period I believe..)
I intend to buy somewhere but just don't know where so have decided to rent somewhere 1st to see what the area's like...

Most LLs initially offer a 6 month tenancy. If that's the case, just agree.0

The OP is in Scotland.
The minimum length of time for a Short Assured Tenancy is 6 months. Any shorter than this and you will have an Assured Tenancy which any landlord with his/her head screwed on will not want to grant as it gives you extra rights as a tenant.
Renting in a new area before buying sounds like a sensible way to go.0
