WI James IV dies in 1511?

King James IV had multiple children, but in 1511 they were either dead already or hadn't been born yet. Who would inherit the throne of Scotland if he died without a descendant. His brothers were already both dead and his nearest relative is his cousin Alexander Stewart, who some believed to be illegitimate.

Could one of James IV's illegitimate son compete for the throne?

I'm currently writing a timeline and this is one of the occurences that I was a bit unsure of.

The heir-presumptive to the Scottish throne from 14 July 1510 until 10 April 1512 was John Stewart, Duke of Albany.
