Scotland does not typically experience hurricanes. However, it may occasionally be affected by remnants of hurricanes that have weakened as they travel across the Atlantic Ocean. These remnants can bring strong winds and heavy rain to Scotland.

No. Category 1 is the weakest category of hurricane. In most cases category 5 hurricanes are the worst. However, some pf the impacts of a hurricane do not necessarily depend on the storm's category.

There were 2 Category 5 Hurricanes in 2008: Dean and Felix.
By several measures, it was one of the worst. Directly killing 11,000 people does put it up there pretty high, though the damage totals weren't nearly as much as some others (Katrina and Andrew for example) because there isn't as much to damage in the impoverished regions where it struck. It is also one of the most powerful hurricanes to strike land in recorded history, with peak sustained winds of 180mph (WELL in the category 5 range). But "Worst" is subjective, and there are different ways of defining that particular superlative.
