Try the Scottish Federation of Sea Anglers, http://www.fishsea.co.uk/pages/sfsa....m=FishScotland and they might be able to help, they say they have coaches on this page, ask them to recommend one.

there is a scottish casting club, events will take place at wigtown S. W. scotland, there is 1 or 2 casting days per month, there also is free tuition if anyone requires it, joining fees are £10 per year and £6 per day, or you can come along for the day for £8.

Good to see some interest in Scotland...are you linked to your national governing body?
Bit concerned about your motto, though...it is not the way to start a beginner off!!
Happy Hogmanay!
