1922 - Amended to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland following southern Irish independence.

Scottish independence is dissolution of the 1707 Act of Union. Anything after that is null and void. We're back to pre-1707.
I'm pretty sure that any move to repeal the 1707 Act would sufficiently amend existing Acts or put appropriate law into place so that the United Kingdom may continue without Scotland.
