Its not that simple, Scotland is not a sovereign country, it is part of the UK and only Westminster can legally break the Union. You would have to declare some kind of unilateral declaration of independence.

Anyway, would the Scottish people accept some kind of 'first past the MSP post, vote on my behalf' deal? Surely they would want their own vote, you know, a referendum?

The secret is the UK islands off of Scotland, which have no appetite for SNP's, divisive, demi-Maidanut, Eurozone-oriented platform.

Yup, roll on the new Crown Dependency of the Orkney and Shetland Islands.

Freedom
The reality is that Britain has all the power and resources it needs to keep whatever region, island, city, village or town it pleases in what is now considered as Scotland.
