I went a long way away from Australia to London.

I went through London to reach Scotland.

Are the two sentences are correct as to grammar and semantics?

Yes, they're correct in both grammar and semantics. Do you have a more specific question about them?

Thank you Jamie.

I wrote this sentence to mean, "I went past London and reached Scotland" i.e. the London was in between the Scotland and from where the plane took off." So the plane had to go by the Scotland.

Am I right?

Or, has this sentence any other meaning? if yes, let me know.

I went through London to reach Scotland. = I went to Scotland and went in and out of London on the way.
I went past London and reached Scotland. = I went to Scotland, and on the way, I went passed by London but did not enter London.
