'Scotland is rather close to the UK????" 'Scotland is a nation that is part of the U.K. 
If you are going to swim from Liverpool to Southerness Point ; Dumfries & Galloway=, Scotland, the distance is some 120 miles. There are many strong tides in the Irish Sea , the sea area, notably the River Mersey, The Calf of Man and the Solway Firth.  
By all means have a go!!! However, you must take a logistic boat with you to feed you and if you have to stop due to cold and/or tides they can get you out of the water.

1 - you can't travel. Scotland is further than a standard exercise trip permits. 
2 - look at a map.
