Here is a great place to start:
BJCP Guidelines
The schilling count really refers to the strength
60 (light) 2.5-3.2%
70 (heavy) 3.2-3.9%
80(export) 3.9-5%
Strong Scotch ale - 6.5-10%
also, a note from the BJCP about the variations:
60 and 70/- ales are usually cask conditioned and are rarely found in the US unless made by a local brewery/brewpub. Belhaven exports their 80/-, which is just called Belhaven Scottish Ale here.
