It depends on how the government of independent Scotland is structured. It is also worth noting that all future views are only projections and not "set history".

Answer 1

Most likely not. Assuming that Scotland gets independence, which is not assured by a strong margin, the following thoughts are worth considering.

Given the liberal nature of the Scottish populace, it is unlikely that the Scots would desire a monarchic state and would likely declare a Republic of Scotland as opposed to a Kingdom of Scotland. In this case, there would be no monarch at all.

However, if Scotland were to become a monarchy, it would most likely still preclude voting for a king since Kings must have a royal bloodline. More than likely a descendant of the Spanish Kings, English Kings, or Belgian Kings would be chosen based more on availability than any particular election.

[See response to Answer 2 in the discussion section.]

Answer 2

Scotland already has a queen - Queen Elizabeth 2 who has a palace in Edinburgh and her summer home at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire. It is highly unlikely that the Scottish people would vote to become a republic. Incidentally, at the last straw poll, only 23% of the Scottish electorate said that they would vote for an independent Scotland outside of the United Kingdom. The status of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is similar to individual states within the United States. It would be like Kansas becoming an independent country.-

Scotland has its own government but why can't you get a Scottish passport?

Yes, Scotland has its own government, but it is a devolved government, meaning that Scotland is still joined to the United Kingdom. As this is the case, when it comes to issues like Passports people in Scotland still have to us a British passport. Until Scotland gets Independence, this will continue to be the case. Once Scotland becomes independent, Scottish citizens will then be able to apply for Scottish passports as Scotland will then be sovereign and, like other independent nations, have its own embassies abroad.
