Rhino25782......getting back to your original post I would reccomend Cumbernauld, both Leading Edge and Border Air Training are very good customers of mine (Scottish information ATC) Border in particular have a very experienced instructor that will point you in the right direction, he has probably forgot more than any other pilot has learnt and a nice guy as well.
Winter can offer some fantastic opportunities for flying in clear cold stable air providing you pick your dats and study the forecast well. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow ATC are very friendly and GA oriented so if you require a crossing of their class D airspace usually not a problem traffic permitting. Once north of Cumbernauld your in class G airspace and flying over some spectacular countryside....that said it can be pretty inhospitable if things go wrong so a good idea to maintain R/T contact with Scottish Info 119.875....always a friendly voice there to help
Maybe talk soon.
