The way the fares are calculated are done by direction. Eastbound vs. Westbound. Each country has different taxes that you pay. Going to or through the UK is extremely expensive. I am flying to London this weekend and the taxes are more than my actual fare.
By the way it's not the same flight if you changed directions...The westbound flight might have a ton of seats left to sell whereas the eastbound to Scotland had very few left. Btw, October is one of the cheapest months to buy tickets to the UK. I've seen fares as low as in the $200 range. But ah-ha those needed to be booked way in advance, have tons of restrictions, and will almost triple with taxes.
