As my first harvest comes to an end, only leeks, cabbage, beets and caulli left.
Is there anything i can plant that will last over the winter?

You can overwinter onions/shallots/garlic if you buy bulbs. You can sow hardy varieties of broad beans (e.g. Aquadulce) or peas (e.g. Feltham First) to get crops in very early summer next year. Autumn is the time for planting all the above - October where I live, but maybe earlier in Glasgow.
If you want things to eat over the winter/spring then you would need to buy plants such as kale or sprouting broccoli, but you'd better get them in quick! -
Second everything that BtS says above, although I would think that where you are, peas and broad beans would benefit from cloche protection, unless you have a particularly sheltered garden/allotment.Comment

I agree with both above. I am in Dundee and we grew beans last year but in our unheated polytunnel. They were growing quite well, then the mice ate them - must of known the hard winter was coming!
