Since this is: " Bicycle Mechanics & Repairs" you use a whip the same as on a road bike: wrap it round one of the larger sprockets. HTH

If you mean Kirkliston West Lothian your two closest purpose built mountain bike trail centres seem to be Glentress and Innerleithen. Glentress includes a skills area and a free ride park so you could learn to jump your bike there. There are also some decent natural trails in the Pentland hills you could try, look here:
https://www.trailforks.com/region/scotland/?activitytype=1&z=10.4&lat=55.93690&lon=-3.44076
You would be better off learning to jump your bike straight ahead to start with, when you are comfortable getting some decent height on your jumps, by all means try a tail whip. There are many videos on youtube that will help you to learn. Be assured you will fall off at some point if you are doing big jumps/drop offs.

There are some just north of a place called Dalgety Bay. I also found some in Philpstown and the SKEF bike park in Edinburgh itself, both these look very small. There is a trail in South Queensferry but this looks like a gravel cycle track, I doubt you would find any jumps there.
