In London, Islington there is "the Hub". A visit to that space a couple of years ago, as part of an introduction to the startup-scene by a friend of mine, was a very inspiring experience, that oddly enough made me decide to study in the UK :) http://islington.the-hub.net/public/ (and they have multiple locations, including two in the Bay Area: http://bayarea.the-hub.net/public/ )
You don't happen to know of anything similar in Scotland, central belt?
