That'd be quite the underwater cable. It'd span about 900 km to get to the Scottish mainland:

1050 km to reach the tip of Norway (or Ireland).

So what? Use the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroe_Islands as junction, and branch from there to Scotland and Norway.

Each branch wouldn't be that different in distance from the part between Cyprus and Crete from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroAsia_Interconnector or the related https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroAfrica_Interconnector
