Here is another way, by rotating element with the scrollbar for 180deg, wrapping it's content into another element, and rotating that wrapper for -180deg.
Check the snippet below
div {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 2px solid black;
margin: 15px;
}
#vertical {
direction: rtl;
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
background: gold;
}
#vertical p {
direction: ltr;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
#horizontal {
direction: rtl;
transform: rotate(180deg);
overflow-y: hidden;
overflow-x: scroll;
background: tomato;
padding-top: 30px;
}
#horizontal span {
direction: ltr;
display: inline-block;
transform: rotate(-180deg);
}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id=vertical>

</div>
