Is it at all possible that Scotland could avoid becoming the disaster is became in the early 18th Century and be a major colonial power?

I'm a Scottish patriot (my username refers to my current residence, not my ethnicity), and I struggle to find threads focussed on Scotland primarily (or at least secondarily) aside from one which I found very difficult to understand (a thread titled Scottish Empire, or something similar).

My main questions are: How could Scotland have ever become a player in the imperial game, how could it have lasted to the 20th Century and if there is a thread based on this idea can I have a link so that I may satisfy my cravings?
