How far East do winds reach?

Hope I'm in the correct place!

I live in the NE of Scotland and have noticed that approx 10 days after a Tropical Storm/Hurricane hits the Caribbean/US we get high winds/cloud/rain etc.

Am I imagining this or is it feasible that the winds will come this far East and either cross Scotland without disipating or go up and around the North and then come down to the North East?

absolutely, I've noticed that many tropical systems which affect the US become extratropical or are absorbed into extratropical systems that eventually pound Ireland/Scotland/Scandinavia.
