Thanks for the message, but I have put xscope.el in the site-lisp, so I figure I do not have to update load-path.

Since all my other local .el loaded fine, I have to presume the issue is with xscope.el particularly.
I assumed there is some unprintable character got in the way, but I could not find any (I used od to check).
That is why I am at a loss at why I cannot load xscope.el.
I would appreciate if you can think of anything else that I should check.
Thanks :-)

The xscope.el and/or xscope.elc file must be in a directory that is a member of load-path.  Type `C-h v load-path RET' to see that variable's value.

Whereever you have installed the xscope.el?(c) files, add that to your load-path before the (require 'xscope) form e.g.

(setq load-path
       (cons "~/emacs" load-path))

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?

Thanks for your help. Your conviction make me look again. And sure
enough, the name is wrong. 
It should have been xcscope.el, not xscope.el.
Simple error, but when you miss it, you missed it.
Again, thanks for your help.

This seems to emit from startup.el. 
Any pointer/help is greatly appreciated ….
