since he wouldn't call himself British, then NO, he cannot obtain visa on arrival, as Scotland is not in the list of the countries whose nationals can obtain visa upon arrival. Let him apply for the tourist visa through the hotel :)

He left Qatar January 2007...and would be visiting for a few days...

And knowing how proud he is as a Scotsman, he wouldn't call himself British...hehehehe

Scottish nationals could get a tourist visa at the airport upon arrival?

Visa issuance can take anything from 3 days to never. If your company doesn't have quota for your nationality, and they have just applied for it, it might get rejected, then no visa. On the other hand, if PRO of the company is lazy, and there is nobody to follow up, then 2,5 months is still normal.
