It would be nice to see more lift to Scotland but I'm not sure there's the traffic to support it year-round and UA has such density with LHR that it's not that difficult to get there without dedicated nonstops so in an aircraft and gate constrained schedule I'd not be surprised to see UA focus on more difficult-to-reach destinations, but what those might be I'm not sure of (South America anyone?)
