From 1979-Present HRH Michel Roger Lafosse has fraudulently claimed to be The Uncrowned King of Scotland. He claims decendency from Scottish pretenders James VIII (III of England), Charles III (Bonnie Prince Charlie) and Henry I (IX of England).
Idi Amin, butcher, buffoon and former ruthless Ugandan dictator, also declared himself King of Scotland.
Other than the pretenders mentioned above, there has been no official King or Queen of Scotland since 1707 when the two kingdoms under Queen Anne became the Kingdom of Great Britain; making the last offical King of Scotland William II, known as William III of England and Ireland.
The monarch now takes the highest ordinal number that would apply from either England (from the time of the Normam conquest) or Scotland. Hence the current Queen is Elizabeth II, despite there being no previous Elizabeth of Scotland. Some Scottish Nationalists incorrectly believe this is English bias, but If there was a King Malcolm he would be Malcolm V as there have been four Malcolms of Scotland.
Those who recognise the Jacobite claims may have a problem if there is a future James, Henry or Charles. The current heir Prince Charles is most likely to be George VII on ascendancy to the throne. Though it is not unusual for monarchs to adopt a middle name for the regnal title and it also honours his grandfather George VI and great grand father George V, it may be argued that it also conveniently avoids the Scottish issue.
Wales is a principality and historically regarded within the realm of England though it is not part of England!

What happened in 1603 in Scotland?
In 1603, James VI King of Scots inherited the throne of the Kingdom of England, and became King James I of England, and left Edinburgh for London. With the exception of a short period under the Protectorate, Scotland remained a separate state, but there was considerable conflict between the crown and the Covenanters over the form of church government. The Glorious Revolution of 1688-89 saw the overthrow of the King James by William and Mary. As late as the 1690s, Scotland experienced famine which reduced the population of parts of the country by at least 20 percent. The Kingdom of Scotland emerged as an independent sovereign state in the Early Middle Ages and continued to exist until 1707, although it had been in a personal union with the kingdoms of England andIreland since James VI of Scotland succeeded to the English and Irish thrones in 1603.
