If Scotland votes for independence what type of government will they have; a republic, a Commonwealth monarchy, a restored monarchy with a Stuart on the throne, etc.?

Scotland will retain the Queen (at least initially) in the event of independence. There won’t be a Stuart restoration, even most Scots weren’t in favour of that back in the 18th Century. In any case, the current Stuart pretender is Franz von Bayern, the Duke of Bavaria, who is most assuredly as German as Bratwurst and Sourkraut, making a mockery of Jacobite complaints about the current royals being ‘German’.
