Does the night get dark enough to observe the brightest stars in southern Scotland during the middle of June?

Probably so, although that would also depend on where you are; if you're near a city, the ambient light may be too bright. And the night sky won't be entirely dark, anyway; it's twilight all night long at those latitudes.
But really bright stars can stand out even under those conditions.
This question is really about the technical details of twilight.
Taking the latitude of southern Scotland as about 55.5 degrees north and doing the usual arithmetic, the answer is "yes".
The conditions should make the brightest stars visible, at some time during the night.
