Margaret, Princess of Norway became the Queen of Scots at the age of three on the death of her grandfather, Alexander III. Margaret set sail from Norway to her new realm in the autumn of 1290, but took ill during the stormy voyage and died soon after reaching the Orkney Islands around September 26. With her death, the House of Dunkeld came to an end.
PoD
Margaret returns safely and Scotland begins to be governed by Regents. Eager to extend his own influence in Scotland, Edward I of England arranged the Treaty of Birgham (1290), by which Margaret was betrothed to his son the Prince of Wales (later Edward II ), in return for an assurance of Scottish independence (though he would serve as ward for the young queen).
If Margaret lives to attain majority one would see a personal union of England and Scotland in the fourteenth century, with the possibility of closer ties to Norway.
It would also mean Robert the Bruce left in a loop!
