If you are eventually going commercial you will need to get the long P1 route behind you and a visit to us up in Bonny Scotland wouldn`t do you any harm.
In the central belt weve got some great asphalt runways for winter flying like Fife, Kirknewton (a bit bumpy) or a wee bit further North to Perth and Dundee.
You could go wild and visit the Western Isles, Tiree,Coll,Colonsay the list goes on. Oban on the mainland is a cracking place to Visit.
Scotland can be great in the winter. Try stopping in Inverness and basing yourself there for a few days, then you can check out Wick and the Orkney Islands.Only an hour from Oban too.
