Or would there be a way to stay airside?
Can't speak from own experience, but the BA forum lists it as:
ABZ: Excellent Excellent if domestic, otherwise Reasonable Reasonable Arrivals decant into departure hall.

Their map seems to suggest that you have to go through immigration and can't stay airside if coming from abroad but it doesn't seem to be that long a walk - 15' should be easy - you can always jump the queue if need be saying you have a tight connection (which will be the case)
