PPL in Northern Scotland

I am an American living in Italy and although I love Italians and this country, because of high costs and the advice I have been given, it would be best to do my training outside of Italy. I am interested in doing a fast PPL in Scotland @ Highland Aviation out of Inverness. I ask the forum:

Does anyone have any experience with this school?

Is a 6 week time frame to get all the training/hrs in during March/April realistic? I have read in other posts that there is sort of a micro-climate in this area and the weather is better there than other parts of Scotland.

Can I self study for the exams and simply sit for them when I show up to save time/money?

I am attracted to this area because of the beautiful landscape/ terrain and the challenges associated with learning to fly there. However, if anyone can recommend another location or school- Let's have it! I am in the beginning stages of researching locations to begin in early spring. Thanks for any advice.
