I really have no idea what 'WsMD' is, but regarding the hardware and properties of the Ministry of Defence, I'm sure that what our armed forces presently possess would be retained by the UK if Scotland decided to go its own way.
Remember that our armed forces are under the nominal command of the Queen.
Certainly our SLBM base in Scotland would be closed down and everything we own brought to England. I'm pretty sure that there are several suitable locations here for it.
As for the Army, I'm sure that the same would happen to all Scottish regiments that happened to the Irish regiments after 1922. They'd be disbanded.
If the Scots would like to form their own army and units, they'd have to come up with some new names, minus any 'Royal' prefixes of course.
In short, Scotland would have to start all over again, just as the Republic of Ireland did.
