An ally, what can Scotland do for the EU? Defend the borders of the EU against Russia? There won't be a military, you already overspent and don't have money for that or anything else. So apart from expecting the EU to keep you, what is in it for them? Why do they need an extra country who would be sponging off them rather than paying in to them? I'm not seeing your logic here on Scotland's attractiveness to the EU.

Don't be under any illusions, currently the UK is paying Scotland's bills. How do you keep yourselves when the money stops? And if you just expect the EU to fund you and take over, really what is in it for them? If you are going to throw away the status quo, at least try to be realistic.
