(Quote MJ) And if you wanted to get in you would be stupid to admit that you were VFR. Just tell them you at MSA and request a procedural service. They have no option but to clear you to the beacon/IAF its the only thing they can do when your 15 miles out when you speak to them.

MJ has it spot on. Leuchars will not give you any useful radar service due to poor radar performance especially to the north.

If you want to practise the procedure Dundee do not charge. Book first over the phone.
