The Scottish Monarchy merged with the English Monarchy in 1603 when James VI of Scotland became James I of England and VI of Scotland. After James VII and II the Scottish numbering system was ignored in favour of the English one (William III and not William III & II). The current practice is now to use the higher of the Scottish and English numbering systems to derive the next in the sequence.
