History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

Build your career in Scotland, for now anyway. There is bound to be small, independent studios which you can become involved in. If anything, try to get involved in as many things as possible, as it builds up your portfolio and CV with impressive content. Soon enough, you can consider moving abroad and acquiring a job with top-tier developers.
Even if you don't make it to Bungie - a studio which is incredibly difficult to get a job with, due to such high-demands - then you could try Bungie alumni, such as Wideload Games, Certain Affinity, Giant Bite or Moonshot Games.
There's a lot of big studios in Scotland, Rockstar North being the obvious one. It's a great place to be trained, a lot of the university's have excellent videogame design and programming courses and it's just overall one of the best places to get into industry.
But yeah, you should definitely work on your skills and experience before worrying about getting a job with any of the big companies, they'll be the ones that really demand a lot of experience before hand.
