Gee, we never thought about it. Maybe it's because Scotland is so near the north pole,

which is so cold that it makes everything cold around it, even though it's at 90 degrees

which should be hot. I know here in Chicago when it's 90 degrees, it's really hot.

Why aren't Ireland's winters cold?

Ireland's winters are cold. They aren't as cold as parts of the world at a similar latitude, which is probably what you are referring to. The reason for that is mainly due to the Gulf Stream, which brings milder waters up from the Gulf of Mexico to the west of Europe. This keeps the temperatures milder, so Ireland does not get the extremely cold weather that places that are even further south get.
