Yes, Scotland is always possible, as is Viking places. It was said Tolkien was basing it on his hometown in England, I was just thinking how similar Ireland is to the Middle-Earth. Well, part of Middle-Earth as in the western realms.
But, as in Middle-Earth is in olden times, maybe Ireland and England were connected. The Shire could possibly be part of Ireland, even if Tolkien meant it or not, it is quite probable.
