There’s absolutely no reason that an independent Scotland can’t apply to and join NATO, if they so wish. As a matter of law the NATO states of Norway, Denmark and Spain all ban the deployment of nuclear weapons on their soil during peacetime, while Iceland and Lithuania ban nuclear weapons deployments on their soil altogether. So nothing about Scotland’s stance on the nuclear issue would prevent their membership.
