Why does my driver go so high?

I have the same problem, and a session with a launch monitor explained the reason:
Hitting down on the ball instead of up, resulting in too much backspin which makes the ball climb high, descend too steeply, with consequently very little run out.
Like you I was using white castle tees, which makes it pretty much impossible to hit up on the ball.
I have now switched to the longer pink ones, which has helped a bit, although it's still a work in progress. I'm wondering whether to try the orange extra long ones.
That was my first thought, white is quite low, so you would struggle with i big headed driver with one of these to hit on the up

I am sort of mate (East Kilbride all week) but I won't be finishing until 5 ish so some time at the range is in order.

Definitely try a low lower loft driver.
I used to play a 9.5 went to 10.5 which went absolutely nowhere and spun like a top.
Took a chance on a 7.5 and never looked back.
Getting my best flights now out of a medium to high tee and the feeling of hitting level through the ball.

Far better going to Mearns Castle, they have top tracer plus a course you can play too. Also know a guy with a Trackman in a private booth you can hire.
Food at Mearns is nice too.
