AHC/WI: Scottish Philippines/East Indies

Your challenge, should you accept, is to have Scotland colonize the Philippines or all/part of the East Indies.

The only constraint: Scotland has to be totally independent of England (Ireland could be part of Scotland, however).

Also included is how would the effects of such a scenario be for the rest of the world.
 
Colonize in the sense of having it as a colony like the many that became independent after WWII or colonize like how the Americans settled the West or the Russians Siberia?

I was thinking more along the lines of Primorye in "Ivangorod Prosperous".

I'm planning a TL based on this premise.
 
I think Scotland could have Selurong(Luzon), Sulu and Maguindanao as Protectorates first if all the three resist the Spanish(Which is being hostile and refusing to convert and bow down to the Spanish) and then have the Spanish East Indies fall to Scotland and the three countries retain their autonomy in the Scottish Empire.
