The best advice has already been given, visit all the schools, talk to instructors and pupils alike to get the best picture.. .. .The problem with training at fields such as Prestwick and Glasgow is that the thrill of mixing with the big boys (737s etc) soon wears off when you realize that you are at the bottom of the ATC pecking order and this will lead to delays on the ground (and in the air) and added COST! Also add on transit time out of the zone plus check if you will have to add on landing fees to the hourly rate, especially expensive when doing circuits.. .. .To add my 'peneth' worth I would stongly recommend Perth. It is worth the drive. It is a beautiful and friendly airfield, which is dedicated to flight training with 3 runways. No delays in uncontroled airspace, but with easy access to controled airspace if you so wish.. .. .There is a small and professional team there, far from a sausage factory (which you can find at other schools) and linked to the most established flying club in Britain, The Scottish Aero Club.. .. .All in all where ever you go there are some good schools in Scotland, and it is a great place to learn.

Have to agree with ZZZZ, visit as many as you can and make an informed decision.. .. .Also I would just like to add that the reference to the "sausage machine" was something that I heard, my experience with Tayside has been excellent, going back in April!. .. .Rusty!
