Graduate LLB in Scotland

Hey all, I'm looking for some hints/advice re a graduate LLB course. I should qualify this post with a few things:
1. I already have a first class honours degree in Marketing;
2. I have a reasonably well paying job that I don't want to give up. So part time is the best option for me;
3. I may want to go into the law profession once graduated; and
4. I live in Scotland and want to get qualified there.

I'm looking into doing this distance learning course at RGU for the LLB

Has anyone got any experience with it and what it's like? I'm slightly concerned that it's not an Hons course, does this matter with LLBs? Would I be able to seek a traineeship after completing this course, or would I have to complete an honours degree? That's the only one I've found that do distance/online - does anyone have experience of others?

Is this the best way to do a LLB, or should I go back to uni full time and do a full undergrad course?

Also, what is the level of reading realistically like on a LLB course? I breezed through my first degree without any issues/stress and I'm concerned that I'll find the leap to LLB quite challenging.

Thanks for any thoughts, hints, and/or tips.
