Direct Flights
As of Feb 2006, BAConnect are offering direct flights between Munich and Glasgow. Well, they're labelled as "direct" but in actual fact they appear to touch down in Bristol for a few minutes.
In early 2005 some rumours surfaced in the news (The Scotsman) that BMI were to start flying direct between Munich and Scotland. Apparently these flights would begin in the summer of 2005 but this flight route was cancelled.

Flights to Newcastle
Newcastle is in northern England and less than 100 miles short of the Scottish border. It might suit your itinery to fly direct there, and then take the train up to Scotland.
HLX fly to Newcastle once a week.
Flights from Frankfurt
Frankfurt is 2 to 4 hours away from Munich on the train. Some airlines fly direct from there to Scotland (not sure which though). Take care if your itinery stats "Frankfurt Hahn". The "Hahn" airport is actually about 2 hours on the bus out of Frankfurt.
