Though not the US, if you want a good piece of Scottish landscape and climate, along with some shared Scottish heritage without leaving the continent, you can't do any better than the Atlantic/Maritime provinces of Canada. Nova Scotia translates New Scotland in Latin. I took a recent trip to Newfoundland back in July, here's what the scenery is like on the eastern coast of the island outside St. John's.

The photos I posted seem rather mountainous, and despite having grass did have quite a few rocks. Does not seem to look the most ideal for grazing, even though the British Islands are rather small and, are also islands, I'm sure even there there would be better areas for grazing.
Marginal lands can still be grazed. Summit of Snowden (highest mountain in Wales) has sheep grazing.
The Scottish landscape is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world to me! I think that there are some higher sections of the White Mountains in NH that are reminiscent.
Alaska is like this somewhat in the summer. I've been out near Bristol Bay, in Bethel and King Salmon, and the areas out there look very "Scotland-esque."
Also, maybe bits of coastal Maine might be similar, but not truly vast areas, because there are mostly trees on the hills.
