Yes.

Not for a shotgun certificate. Firearms certificate is different.

No ! You cant shoot on any land you dont own without it.

A shotgun cert does not require a reason (like land permission) to be granted.
But you cannot shoot on land without (preferably written) permission.

I understood it as him asking if he needed a permission to get a shotgun certificate, as in a reason to have one.

As Rewulf has pointed out, you need permission to shoot anywhere in the UK.

Obviously if you own the land you don't need permission, as you would be the one granting said permission.

If you don't have permission, then it is classed as armed trespass.

Fill in the form, pay your £79.50. Post it to your local police force. Fit a cabinet to a solid wall. Have a home visit from an FEO to check you aren’t a loon and you have security. Licence arrives on door mat.

Add in Scotland...expect to pay your GP to give you a clean bill of health

Any advice?

Have some idea of what you have available locally and what you want to do - things like knowing where your local clay range is, or who you plan to shoot with or where you plan to go. I got the strong impression that my FEO was happier when he spoke to me and I explained about the three closest places I'd looked at and why I was going to the one I chose, despite not having done much shooting before.
