I use the used the maxim - I want to fly in Scotland, so I learnt in Scotland.... in 3 weeks, doing the groundschool/bookwork myself. Where did I get this done and at less than £3500 ? Inverness, that's where. The area has consistently better weather than the reat of Scotland, has beautiful scenery, and quailifying cross-countirs to the northenr islands like Orkney. Sure the weather is not a cert, but speak to Peter Brook at Highland Aero Club and if he could work it out for you, I'm sure he would do his best.
