i dont think there is a high enough population for that, although you could say some regions eg, west, southwest arent gratly populated, but then neither do they have so many opt outs as the nations.
im sure if scotland was reduced to the output of english region, then 2 or 3 regions could be created
other wise a london produced scottish 6oclock news is the next best option(using same reports as english 6oclock + some scottish reports)

I don't think there's really any need for a Scottish 6 o'clock News as it's not meant to be regional it's meant to be international - covering stories from around the world (including Scotland, if the stories are important enough for an international news bulletin).
What I do think wouldn't be a bad idea is actually having regional news in Scotland at 6.30pm - and, indeed, in Northern Ireland and Wales. All that's currently available is 'Reporting Scotland' which is obviously a national programme. Splitting Scotland up into regions in the same way as England (e.g. BBC Scotland South, BBC Scotland Central etc) would allow for far broader, in-depth coverage of local news. This is especially important, for example, for people who have to watch Boring Border for regional news: although they try and cover Scottish stories, the maximum they ever reach in their 6pm bulletin is 3 - really quite worrying for coverage of the whole of southern Scotland!
