She didn't, Mary Queen of Scots and Bloody Mary were two different people.

Mary, Queen of Scots was born on 8th December 1542, became Queen when her father died on 14th December 1542 (yes, she was just six days old) and reigned until her execution on 24th July 1567 for allegedly plotting to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I of England.

Bloody Mary was Elizabeth I's older sister. She was born on 18th February 1516, became Queen of England on 19th July 1553 and reigned until her death on 17th November 1558.

She was called Bloody Mary because during her reign nearly 300 so-called heretics were executed for failing to follow Roman Catholicism.

You are confusing Mary I Tudor of England. It was the English Mary I that was known as Bloody Mary due to her protestant burning. She burned many more people at the stake than her dad, Henry VIII, for religion and this made her very unpopular. Mary Queen of Scots was a merciful queen, perhaps a little too much as she was kind hearted, and never acquired such a nickname.
