I usually use Seko Logistics, based at or near Heathrow Airport, to do the import paperwork and arrange delivery. Their guy in a van (a subcontractor I think) is used to delivering dolls -- as far as the south coast, anyway. Their prices seem to me reasonable. (The VAT is the biggest additional cost.) A trip to Scotland might cost a bit though.
In recent years they have been fairly efficient. However, if you use them, track the shipment and tell them when it arrives. You would think they would tell you when it arrives, but in the past (some years ago now, with different personnel) they did not tell me. As a result, one doll sat in the crate for a week in their warehouse.

By coincidence, my first Anatomical Doll -- Anoushka -- arrived at my place the same day that a magazine crew visited, as a result of which the delivery guy got himself in Closer magazine!
