Normally, you should not expect your parents to pay you for helping around the house. That is something you should be doing anyway. However, if they are already paying someone, like a lawn guy, then why don't you compete for his job? Offer to do it for less. Of course, you will have to do a good job and not complain about it.
Jobs you can do for neighbors: Mowing lawns, walking pets, washing cars, and babysitting (if you are a responsible kid).
You may find it difficult to get a job at 14 because most jobs require you have skills. It does not hurt to ask. Try jobs that do not require a college education, such as fast food, grocery stores, shops, etc.
One way to build your skills is through volunteering. You will not get paid but you will learn valuable skills that will help you get a job someday. Maybe your parents will agree to compensate you for volunteering. They can consider it a donation to a good cause.
If you are adventurous, you can try running your own internet business by buying things at garage sales and selling them online at http://www.ebay.com . Research what things are selling for on ebay before purchasing. (Also, avoid buying stuff on ebay or you will spend more than you make.) I suggest you specialize in a few items: specific toys, books, etc. You are going to become an expect so pick a category that you really enjoy. (When you see a bargain you will know it!) Be certain to check the website daily to make certain your customers are happy. To make a profit you will need to calculate the costs: ebay fees, paypal fees, packaging materials, and postage.
Good luck!

There is very little you can do at your age because of the law. At your age you can only work 2 hours on school days and 5 hours on saturdays/school holidays. That's why you won't be able to get anyone to employ you, those hours aren't convenient for them. That's why the only job you can get at your age is paperboy. You have to be 16 AND have left school before you can legally work proper hours and get a proper job.

You need to create your own business, such as errand boy, you may have to go to door with what you want to do for people, especialy elderly people. Such as run to the store for them, or go to the post office maybe pick up around their yard or garage cleaning. May want to set a rate for each job you invent to do for people. Better then working for someone else anyway.Make up some flyers on your computer and what work you would be willing to do and phone number so, do be careful as to not just go in anyone's home without your parents knowing where you are. Good luck.

My kids worked in a hairdressers just sweeping floors and making tea, they both learnt communication skills and earned money., as well as learning to respect orders. I have no idea what the rate would be in scotland I know the pay is lower there.

you could do work experience in a place where you would like to work in the future as a career or for when you are 16.
