I think you're perhaps worrying yourself needlessly over the fact that your Scottish boyfrend is a State Pensioner. I say this, based on my own experience of being early retired - and nine months short of pension age - when I married my Filipina wife in December 2008, applied for a Spousal Visa and was able to bring her to the UK 12 weeks later. The main difference as far as you're concerned is, I imagine you'll be planning to hold the wedding in Scotland ... as opposed to the Philippines ... which is presumably why you mention applying for a Fiancee Visa.
