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.

Personally I would be content to watch them starve. Their choice. It might be more than a good idea to cancel the Barnet skew to the distribution of what are mostly English taxes right now.
You can't move buildings, of course. Well, not very easily, but everything we own should come back to us.
Having said that, you know what our politicians are like. Happy to hand out everything we have to people who don't deserve them, so I wouldn't be surprised if we give away everything.
