You will need a normal rod license unles you are goin for migratory fish such as salmon.

Scottish rivers like the Tweed for example all you need is a permit to fish the relevant beats, you do not need a rod licence in Scotland, The lochs and the only lake (lake of mentieth) again all you need is a permit to fish but i suggest you book the lochs or lake in advance.
