Well actually the Stuarts stopped being Scots after James VI. The rest of them were born in England and Bonnie Prince Charlie was Italian.

And now, the heir to a Stuarts is a German guy (Bavarian, to be exact). So if you're a British monarchist, I guess it comes down to whether you want a North German (Hanoverian) or a South German (Bavarian) as your monarch.
