Scotland ccTLD? - armchair quarterbacking

Perhaps a dose of factual information may temper this thread.
If we are talking about ISO-3166-2 - the basis for the CCTLD delegations, then:

1_  Scotland has no say in the country code selected.
2_  ICANN has no say in the country code selected.
3_  The choice is up to an ISO committee.
