If u are holding a UK visa..does this mean u can also enter Scotland and Ireland or do I have to apply seperate visas for each country?

- Scotland is part of the UK, so that's fine.
- Northern Ireland is part of the UK, so that's fine.
(- Wales is part of the UK, so that's fine.)
- The Republic of Ireland (Eire) is a separate country with separate entry requirements.

however Republic of Ireland is in EU and if you have any other visa (country withing EU) you should be fine, as long as it is multi-entry..

It depends which county your from it is very easy to check with the republic of Ireland consulate on line if you need a visa

No. That only applies within the Schengen zone. The Republic of Ireland is not in the zone and has separate requirements.
