Re: handing in notice
Was there any mention of the notice period when you were offered your current job?
If not it sounds like you're on pretty solid ground - especially as others with written contracts are one weeks notice.
So he's unlikely to sue you for breach of contract but you might make an enemy. As has been said, many industries are like villages and this tends to be more so in Scotland. People I've pi**ed off have a nasty habit of reappearing in my life.
Assert your rights but, if possible, in a non-confrontational way.
Good luck and congrats on the new job BTW.
