This is an interesting discussion about the viability of reintroducing lynx in Scotland. https://tfn.scot/news/lynx-should-return-to-scotland-but-not-through-illegal-releases
When I visited Wild Ireland in Donegal a couple of years ago the view there was that Ireland doesn't currently have a habitat large enough or suitable enough for introduction. It seems Scotland is better placed in that regard.
