Canon: Unknown

There is nothing in the Star Trek canon that tells us how any Original Series-era characters reacted to Scotty's original disappearance on the USS JanolanJenolan, or how any surviving crew reacted to his return and subsequent desire to travel around space on his own.

Pure speculation: It could very well be that Scotty used the Enterprise-D computer to look up surviving members of the original Enterprise and found that there were none other than Spock, who was inaccessible on Romulus. (The extremely old Dr. McCoy, for instance, could have died in the years between "Encounter at Farpoint" and "Relics".) In that case, there would be no reactions to his return and he would have felt free to go travelling about the quadrant.

Extended Universe: Yes!

According to the Star Trek short story "Ancient History", Scotty knew Morgan Bateson, the 23rd-Century Starfleet captain whose vessel was displaced into the 24th Century in "Cause and Effect" (where it kept crashing into the Enterprise-D).

In that story, Scotty and Bateson reconnected shortly after the events of "Relics". It seems that Bateson was quite happy to discover that Scotty was alive, suggesting that Bateson probably missed him.
