I don't know specifically about Scotland, but some jobs that spring to mind would be working in a kennels or animal boarding facility; working for the RSPCA / Dogs Trust or similar; farms / zoos / wildlife parks; veterinary nursing / receptionist (if you don't mind working in a vet's); dog grooming; stable hand; greyhound trainer; pet shop assistant; working in an animal sanctuary.

It might be an idea to work out what areas appeal to you, then maybe write some prospecting letters to companies and employers to see if they've any vacancies? There are plenty of qualifications you can get in Animal Care that don't involve veterinary work, so that could be a good route to follow too.

Good luck! Hope you find a job doing something you enjoy x
