I brewed the AHS Scotch Ale(which smelled amazing when I racked it) back on March 15 2008, racked it March 29.

I was planning on bottling it this weekend and I was wondering am I going to need to add the same type of yeast I used(Wyeast Scottish Ale) in the bottling bucket? Or should there still be enough yeast in the beer and it is just a matter of the yeast waking up in the bottles?
 
you don't need to add yeast. just put your priming sugar mixture in the bottleing bucket after it's cooled and rack on to it.
 
Yeah, you should be fine. Rule of thumb (for me at least) is that when it hits the 4 or 5 month mark, I usually add just a very light sprinkling of Lager yeast (mainly because the beer is usually in cold storage at that time) the day before priming/bottling or kegging.

Anyone ever thought of trying to use CO2 from the same batch to bottle that batch?
