Bandwagon.

The first map is Scotland if it voted the same way as England in 2010. I have used poll data for this one to help me. I have made an assumption that the Lib Dems target the same seats as now.

Is this based on a uniform swing from 2005?

No. It's based on the make-up of each seat and how that would translate into votes if Scotland voted in the manner England did. It's not an exact science of course.

In all seriousness though, could you do one that mirrors Canada, sort of.

The SNP winning 2/3rds of the seats, like the Bloc.
The Tories taking the place of the NDP in 2008 (since both were very unpopular in their areas at the time) and taking a single seat
With Labour and the Lib-Dems splitting the remainder (with a lean towards Labour)
