You can likely also just end your trip wherever you are in the EU vs. actually flying the final leg back to OSL.

If you flew from EDI or GLA to Norway (roughly £80 - £120) and started the RTW there, the base price is £3908, and after the same 15%, £4494. Of course, the RTW allows up to 16 flights, and you could, if starting in Norway, return to Scotland and still have a trip within Europe or the Middle East possible before returning to Oslo within the 12 months of the ticket's validity.
Are the fees really that low on RTW? If they are, it's time I look at DONE4 from TYO.
