Did you know that Mr. Scott, the engineer, auditioned with an Irish accent? It's because he is Irish. The director said 'That's good but we can't have an Irish engineer. Irish people are seen as too stupid.'
Scottie: "I can do a Scottish accent."
And so he got the job.
He related in many interviews that he did the audition in a variety of different accents. Perhaps one of them was Irish. Roddenberry said that he thought the best engineers were always Scotsmen, so they used that one.
Commander Scott was not originally envisioned as being a major character. In fact, the character did not even have a name when Doohan auditioned for the role of "chief engineer." The surname "Scott" was picked after his nationality had been decided, and "Montgomery" was selected because it was Doohan's middle name (named for an ancestor).
On the other hand, did you ever notice that they seldom showed Scottie's right hand? Doohan lost the middle finger at Normandy.

Hard to say. Can you move a little to the left?

His parents were from Ireland and he had an Irish accent growing up. He got the Scottish accent from his sergeant in the Canadian military stent he did. My version is from an interview he did.
