What on earth is a "ROTUK"

Rest Of The UK

passport, who currently qualifies for them,

nobody yet

and by what logic would such qualification extend to an independent
Scotland?

It wouldn't, it would extend post-independence to people with
appropriate nationality rights such as (applying current comparable
rules WRT Ireland) anyone born before independence day anywhere in the
UK or who had other appropriate nationality rights whether or not they
also had a Scottish passport. Current eligibility (subject I suspect
to dispute over some details) is described in :-
