Scotland Study Centre (SSC) is an Online Language school with a REAL difference. at SSC, you don't learn "textbook English." and you don't learn the traditional grammar that you can't use in real communication. You learn the REAL grammar you need to communicate in REAL English. Your teacher is a very highly qualified and experienced teacher, and the SSC courses can take you from Beginner level all the way up to REAL Proficiency in English. At the higher levels, SSC specialises in English for Specific Purposes, and you can choose to study English for Academic Purposes, Business Purposes, Employability, or for your own Academic of Business/Work specialisation, including for the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language. The more Advanced Level courses take you beyond the "Intermediate Plateau" and train you in the Language Techniques and Skills you need to reach the highest levels of Proficiency in English. The 'Teacher Training for English Teachers' course trains both experienced and novice teachers in the non-traditional approach to English teaching developed and used at SSC. This approach is based in Systemic -Functional Linguistics and teaches you how to teach REAL English as it used in Real-Life contexts. With SSC's non-traditional approach, you learn by INTERACTING with your teacher throughout the lesson, and there is an INTEGRATED SELF-STUDY program that allows you to continue learning between class sessions. SSC does not just teach the language; it teaches YOU and the specific English YOU need to succeed in your everyday lives and in your Academic and Business careers.

Instruction in Iaido , the art of drawing the sword and striking a killing blow, is also offered at Thistle Aikikai. In Iaido, students learn to use the sword not merely as a tool for cutting down one’s enemy, but as a method of allowing the mind and body to become more harmonious with nature. During training, students will learn the forms of the Muso Shinden Ryu Iai as developed by Nakayama Hakudo Sensei, with a goal toward synchronizing their breathing and body motions within the techniques in order to understand and practice the efficient use of the body. The club trains at the Iain Nicolson Recreation Centre, Chryston Road, Chryston, G69 9NA and the UFC Hall, G69 9ND (near Glasgow), Scotland (Phone 01326 631465). See below for a map.
