Can you travel from Scotland to England on a invalid passport?
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.

Believe it or not, there are over 31,000 lochs and 'lochans' (little lochs) in Scotland! Most of these are quite small while many were drained after the 18th century for farmland or tree plantations. Despite this, there are still plently to go around. Take a look at North Uist, Outer Hebrides on Google Earth sometime to illustrate this point.

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!

It depends from where to in Scotland you are flying to.
Flights from London to Edinburgh and flights from London to Glasgow usually last about 1 hour with good flying conditions, however flights from London to Aberdeen (or Inverness) take about 10-15 minutes longer due to the larger distance covered.
I don't think anybody knows. The constant consumption and disposal of TV's makes it hard for to calculate the exact number.
photos and other sightings suggest if Nessie exists it may be a kind of plesiosaur which is not a dinosaur.plesiosaurs are aquatic reptiles and they did live in the same time as dinosaurs. however nobody really knows for sure, it may be a mammal or another kind of reptile, if the loch ness monster even really exists.
