    Technically it is no longer in effect as Scotland is no longer a Kingdom in itself and has not been since 1603.
    Scotland was (until the Union of Parliaments in 1707) a totally independent kingdom. In more modern times the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary (two kingdoms with a common monarch) would be comparable to the status of Scotland within the United Kingdom prior to the union of parliaments.

    At the end of WWI the Austrian government moved to abolish the monarchy, but no such action took place in Hungary with the result that Dr. Otto Habsburg is still the de jure king of Hungary.

    And it was a Scot, Colonel EL Strutt of the Royal Scots, who kept his father, Blessed Karl of Austria, from giving up the throne of Hungary.
