Scotland is a parliamentary democracy. Voters elect 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) every 4 years. The MSPs then vote for a First Minister, who is then formally appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of the Scottish Parliament.
To be eligible to vote for elections to the Scottish Parliament, (1) you must be over 18, (2) you must be lawfully resident in Scotland and (3) a British Citizen, a European Union member state or a Commonwealth member state.

Is a republic ruled by a single leader?
It may have one leader or a legislative government. What makes it a republic is that these leader(s) are elected to represent people instead of the people having to vote directly on everything. Sometimes all the people vote in these elections for the leader(s), sometimes only certain classes of people are allowed to vote (e.g. land owning nobility, wealthy merchants, "whites", men).
