If its learning to fly your are interested in, it might be worth looking at the microlight, paragliding side of life both of which are well provided for in south/central Scotland.
Another option might be to try gliding. The main clubs in the area are; Edensoaring which is open 7 days per week near Penrith, Portmoak near loch leven or Deeside club at Aboyne. Converting from gliding to power can be a cheaper route than the obvious flying club route.
