No. James I/VI did not succeed James V. James V, who died in 1542 (I think; yes, I am on an encyclopaedia & can't be arsed to look it up) and had been king for yonks as he succeeded James IV (killed at Flodden Field, 1512) as a very young child, was succeeded by his wk-old daughter & only surviving legitmate child, Mary, Queen of Scots. She in turn was not forced to abdicate in favour of her 2 yo son, James VI, until 25 yrs later. Scots architecture was influenced by French architecture before James V....Auld Alliance=royal/noble marriage alliances with France, & he'd actually lived there a while as he courted his 1st wife, Madeleine of Valois, in person, & they had a French wedding & honeymoon....hence those Disneyland turret-toppers that popped up in Scotland. James Vs mother was Margaret Tudor, so there was a wee dram of Tudor influence in there as well.
