The regular expression for details.php and gotolink.php are identical, apache has no way to tell whether http://domain.com/abc123 should be rewritten to /uk/details.php?pid=abc123 or /gotolink/gotolink.php?id=abc123 because the URI, /abc123, matches both of these:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ uk/details.php?pid=$1

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ gotolink/gotolink.php?id=$1

The fact that the details.php one is first is why everything gets rewritten to details.php. If you swapped them around, everything would get rewritten to gotolink.php. You have to make it so these regular expressions match differently. Example:

RewriteRule ^d/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ uk/details.php?pid=$1

RewriteRule ^g/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ gotolink/gotolink.php?id=$1

So now /d/abc123 goes to /uk/details.php?pid=abc123 and /g/abc123 goes to /gotolink/gotolink.php?id=abc123. Or you can separate them if the details pid is always letters and gotolink id is always numbers or something:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z-/]+)$ uk/details.php?pid=$1

RewriteRule ^([0-9-/]+)$ gotolink/gotolink.php?id=$1
