As a UK citizen, do you need a passport to fly from London Gatwick to Edinburgh with easyJet or British Airways? And also will this be the same at other airports?

@Nate Eldredge, I've read these but I'm not sure if you'll need a passport to get through Gatwicks security even though BA and easyJet don't require it

The short answer is no, and the previous answer provides good references with more details.
In answer to the supplementary question that you raised in the comments section, airport security do not require any ID, so they will not be asking for a passport either.
In the case of Gatwick, if your flight isn't leaving the UK, they will take your picture as you enter security, and check this before you reach the gate to prevent an immigration scam that became quite prevalent a few years ago.
I can't find a reference to this online, but this is from extensive personal experience. I would have added this as a comment, but apparently my reputation hasn't preceded me :)

Domestic flights
Some airlines accept photo driving licences and other forms of ID for domestic flights, but many don’t so check your airlines website when you book your flights. If you turn up with the wrong type of ID you will not be able to fly and you are unlikely to get your money back.

British Airways
If you are flying solely within the UK, including Northern Ireland, you do not need a passport but we advise that you carry photographic identification with you when travelling, such as your passport or driving licence. This may be requested at certain points in your journey. Children under the age of 16 years do not require identification to travel within the UK.
