For my new tent, namely the ESVO Bedouin 340, I have already purchased bits and pieces so that I can hang a pair of curtains on the inside, as the window cover that covers the mesh and PVC panels is on the outside.
Bits and pieces include rings, hooks, chains etc. and a 125cm 1/2in stainless steel tube (the door opening is 130cm).
I plan to hang the SS tube on the horizontal pole of the front frame, and hang the curtains using hooks and clips (the clips can stay on the curtains).
It will be easy for me to hang a voile panel and use it as a flyscreen if required. However, it is unlikely I would do that as I have not had any issues with flies as already mentioned.

Flyscreen or Midge screen is a must if camping in most parts of Scotland between May/June until Aug/Sept. Depends on weather how many but the little blighters will be there one way or another.
From experience the Lake District is the same, so again midge screen recommended.

We use a couple of net curtains from Ikea, these ones, I think - Lill £5 a pair
http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10070262/
They are held up at the top with clothes pegs. They are really long, so the bottom bit gets rolled up and is usually heavy enough to stop them moving, but we use shoes to hold them down if it gets windy
