That is true, assuming you put it in the right site-lisp directory and
nothing has removed that directory from your load-path.  Does `M-x
locate-library RET xscope RET' confirm that it is found in your
load-path?  If not, what does `C-h v load-path' tell you?

No, the error is not that the contents of xscope.el cannot be loaded,
it's that xscope.el itself cannot be opened.  What are its ownership and
permissions?
