Hello - wondering if anyone could possibly help. The Act_of_Security_1704 required the Scottish to select a different choice of successor to the Hanoverian line selected by England. Obviously IOTL this was "solved" by the Act of Union. However supposing that this does not occur (and for the sake of argument the Darien Scheme is not carried out), and therefore Scotland does pick a different regal line, who would they pick?
The obvious selection would be the Jacobite claimants but I don't think this would be likely as even in an acrimonious split they wouldn't want to antagonise the English and of course the issue of Catholicism.
