Could these trolls exist?

In a world I'm designing, a group of Homo Habilis or even Australopithecus Afarensis migrated into a northern Scotland environment becoming Trolls. These are not D&D trolls, but something else. I have a number of basic characteristics for these beings, and am wondering whether these characteristics are plausible.

The basics of my trolls

• Can range in height from 143.2cm (4ft 8in) to 228.6cm (7ft 6in) tall

• Are mostly covered in a thick, coarse hair. Like that of wolverines

• Have an average have a life span of 150-170 years (barring major injuries)

• Can fully regrow missing limbs in approximately 1025-1095 days.

• They are not significantly prone to major disease (Optional)

• Have large noses, as well as cow-like ears

• Their diet consists primarily of plant matter, though they scrounge a certain amount of protein from insects and carrion and will rarely scavenge dead animals

• Have very sensitive eyes and are nocturnal

• Are mostly solitary but do form groups during the colder months

• Have sloth like claws for digging up roots and peat

• Have gorilla-like strength

• Have very rudimentary tool use

The question

• How realist is this?

• Could an early hominid like Homo Habilis or Australopithecus Afarensis even live long enough to evolve into these trolls?

• Are there any other traits my trolls would need?

Edit:

I guess I should have been more clear with

Are there any other traits my trolls would need?

what i meant to say was are there any other traits that my trolls would need to survive in northern Scotland?
