I am currently playing English and just wanted to know if I can play Scotch as it looks fun.

Absolutely, It's a good opening to challenge the centre especially for aggressive players who don't like waiting around but since you said you play the English you must be a positionally oriented person who likes slow games so I'd suggest the Italian or Ruy Lopez

"I am currently playing English" ++ Good, especially if you play Sicilian as black.

" if I can play Scotch" ++ Yes

"as it looks fun" ++ Any opening can lead to fun or to dull positions. Each time you switch openings, you lose more, as it takes games and losses to accumulate experience.

I love the scotch but be aware that most other people at your level likely won't play expected moves. Also, I would suggest studying middle and endgames instead of learning theory
