It depends.
If you are an English or Welsh citizen, then you can certainly cross the border into Scotland without any passport. It's all the same nation, the United Kingdom.
If you are a foreign national, then you will need a passport to enter the UK, whether you are trying to arrive at (for example) Manchester Airport in England, or Glasgow Airport in Scotland. However assuming you gained legal entry to England, you can then travel around the UK as there are no border checks in between England and Scotland, or Scotland and Wales.

Do children need a passport to fly from Bristol to Glasgow?
In theory No - however in order to fly from any airport in the UK, including domestic flights you must have proper identification. For adults this can include Photo Card Driving Licences or government issued ID (e.g. Police Warrent Card, Military ID, etc). In practice, you'll find that although a passport isn't required (as your not leaving the country) most UK citzens will use their passport as government issued ID. Foreign visitors would be advised to have their passport just in case they didn't have other acceptable ID. I've just re-read the question and realised it refers specifically to children... as I don't have any I'm not sure! According to Easyjet children under 16 do not require photographic ID but they must be accompanied by an adult with the appropriate ID - individual airlines may have different rules though. Best to check!
