Regarding Scottish royalty, what's the family line of inheritance from King James II of England downwards?

Who is in the frame if it went that way?

The Duke of Bavaria is the current Stuart pretender to the throne:

Franz, Duke of Bavaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not that it matters though, as the the idea that the Jacobite rebellion was a straight English vs. Scottish fight is a myth. There were plenty of Scottish Hanoverians and English Jacobites.

Personally, I'd let them take the Royals with them and we could restore the Commonwealth of England.

They can't keep the Queen, we're keeping her. The Queen is not on the table.

Maybe we should give them the royalty before the Queen is replaced by that awful twat, The Prince of Daftness.

Auction her off. You can't argue with the free market.

What with Thomas being a traditional Scottish name.

That's not a glass table is it?

(sorry, had to get that in before Darmstadt or NorthernladyUK)

Wales was part of the kingdom of England before the union with Scotland, so I assume it would remain so if that union is abolished.

Therefore the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland fits the bill.

As an aside, if Scotland gains independence, will it be a Kingdom (as it was before the union), a Republic, or a status similar to commonwealth countries like Australia (whatever that is called)? Has Alex Salmond opined on the matter? I haven't been paying attention to him.

How about "State 51", with a nice new stripey and starry national flag ?
