An interesting site I was drawn to earlier in the week is the Battle of Jutland Crew Lists Project at https://battleofjutlandcrewlists.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page.
I was specifically alerted to the Men from Ireland page at https://battleofjutlandcrewlists.miraheze.org/wiki/Men_From_Ireland, and looked to see if my Belfast born great great grandfather John Montgomery (1867-1923) was noted, he having served on HMS Engadine in the conflict, and was surprised to find that he wasn't. I contacted the site organiser, who informed me that he was in fact listed on a separate page with the crew of the Engadine (https://battleofjutlandcrewlists.miraheze.org/wiki/HMS_Engadine_Crew_List), and that the Men from Ireland page would be updated to include him there also, which I am delighted to see has since happened.
There does not appear to be a page for Men from Scotland, although many Scots will be listed in the main database. Where photos of sailors have been sourced, they have also been made available to view.
