This may sound inflammatory, or stupid, but I have to say this is kind of ASB. I don't mean to demean the Scots or anything, but frankly there's absolutely no way that the Scots could raise a military capable of independently taking on the Spanish Empire, even if just defending one colony. Even if it came down to it, the Spanish could just starve the colony into submission, because the Scots, even if relatively economically prosperous, could never raise more than, maybe 10 full time frigates and even assuming they were the best-manned ships in the world, facing the whole Spanish navy eventually they will be picked off and reduced to naught. I have to say, I think if you want a scenario when Darien survives, you have to find a way to avoid the Spanish trying to seriously take it back. I just can't see the Scots managing a successful continuing defence against concerted attacks without some other colonial power assisting them and doing most of the work.
My darkest secret. The worst TL in AH.com (TM)Did someone mention the Darien Scheme?
Besides the TL itself, there's some good chatter in the thread about the overall POD.

Why would I have a problem with this? I don't like Ohio anymore than Michigan. In fact, you give us the UP and you can take all of Ohio for all I care.Man, we've gone through this how many times now?
The Upper Peninsula is rightfully Michigan's by way of Congressional dealings in exchange for Michigan giving up claims on the Toledo Strip. If Wisconsin were to claim the Upper Peninsula, that would indicate that Wisconsin would be inclined to recognize pre-1836 borders and should then logically back Michigan's claim on the Toledo Strip.
