Part time writing courses?

[bugpowderdust]

I quite fancy doing a short course in writing, preferably screenwriting but any form of creative writing would be good. Does anyone know of any decent courses in Glasgow/Central Scotland?

I know that Glasgow and Strathclyde Uni do writing courses, and I had a quick search on ILA Scotland, but seems to be just fiction writing courses rather than screen writing.

So that was an essentially futile exercise... sorry!
