In the USA, many high schools (last four years of secondary education) offer "adult education" and/or "continuing edication" classes in the evenings. These programs are non-academic and, with the exception of some first aid classes, offer no certification. Most frequently they're conducted by a someone with an unusually keen interest in the subject and who enjoys sharing their knowledge with others.
It would seem reasonable to me to expect that you might be able to find similar offerings in the Glasgow area - and I'd guess that you might find it at a pre-college level school.
Disgustingly, my only info on education in the UK is a two-page article (in French!) in the middle of a paper-back Larousse English/French dictionary - and after working my way through it all, they mention that the system is different in Scotland. :-(
Good luck!
