The main issue wouldn't be the timeframe for a rollout of a Scottish

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.
See:
well, apropos to point #2, the iso3166/ma includes representatives from
ten agencies, of which a certain 501(c)(3) originally in marina del rey,
now in los angeles, is included.
however, i can't imagine staff offering an opinion of record on the subject.
