The UK government has shortlisted its preferred potential spaceport sites:

Still in are Campbeltown, Glasgow Prestwick, and Stornoway in Scotland; Newquay in England and Llanbedr in Wales. RAF Leuchars is confirmed as a potential temporary facility.

Sad to see Lossiemouth no longer listed - was hoping to one day see launches from my doorstep. :(

Kinloss would have been more practical -- I think. It was on the shortlist for a time but I suspect the expertise we lost when it became an army base maybe what has knocked Kinloss and Lossie out of the race.
