Hi Hugh, it's great that you're enjoying your dancing and that you're so keen. My advice is to keep up the regular classes rather than practice with a particular partner as this really does stand in the way of developing proper lead and follow technique.
My advice is to get a private lesson or two. This will, hopefully, identify why you're not getting any further. I'm not sure what private lessons cost in Scotland. To give you an idea, I charge £30 an hour including room hire.
The other thing is to learn to love the "basic" moves
