British and Irish citizens (but not British "nationals" from Hong Kong or other places overseas) can fly within the British Isles with a photocard driving licence. Other EU citizens can use their national ID card.
Everyone else still needs a passport. You will probably need to produce a passport to check in, though.
More info
It all depends on the airline. British Airways does not require any photo ID to board. And if you use online check-in or self-service check in, then no photo ID at all is needed.
It has been reported that the Strathclyde Police sometimes ask for ID from passengers as they arrive.
