Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

If your mother stops you to take your wife to Scotland due to some special reason then you should obey your mother. But if she is stopping you without any reason and you hope that the child birth shall be easy in Scotland in your presence then you may take your wife to Scotland. However, it is better for you to win the consent of your mother.
