The Scottish airlines, due to their size, struggle to keep their pilots for long periods of time as alot of them eventually head off down to london as soon as they hit the 1500 hr mark. If you live in Scotland and want to stay there then you have a huge advantage. If they can see that you're settled here then someone will snatch you up sooner or later. Worked for me! Best of luck.

P.s. To those of you who think that scotland is a last resort then think again. You'd be hard pushed to find a more exciting and challenging flying environment. Tiny airfields with only an NDB to guide you in in the middle of winter to huge intl airports with full ils'. Fly into Sumburgh's rwy 33, possibly THE most intresting approach in the world, especially since Kai Tak. fly past sumburgh's lighthouse which is at 800' when you're at 500', and use the small farm to que you're turn onto the runway centre line, at +/- 50 feet, yes 50 feet in a 15 ton SAAB or a 25 ton ATP. But i suppose flying an autoland ILS into every airport is just as fun, ha!
