You can't say that lol England and Scotland were legally unified from that moment on but when James VI became James I of Great Britian he joined the English and Scottish crowns as one therefore both countries were de facto united in 1603.
Yeah but Elizabeth (the Queen of England) is still the Queen of Scotland therefore negating that argument, both crowns are under one person so they're generally regarded as united

Yes, by paper. She also has our crown but like I say, due the fact the crowns were never unified the Scottish people should be able to call upon them to give it back as it really belongs to us.

LOL you can't just ask for the crown back. That's like saying the English could have asked George I for the crown back seeing as he was German, it just doesn't work like that

This is a little more complex & a little more unique than a dude who was shooting blanks, thus leaving no heir, & German cousins coming in to take the throne.

Queen Anne died childless in 1714 but as the Act of Settlement (1701) had been passed the crown couldn't pass to it's rightful heir (James Stuart) as he was a Catholic, so it was designated to the Protestant heirs of Sophie of Hanover (grandaughter of James I) whose son eventually inherited the throne as George I
