Option one, and it's not even remotely close.

I think it will facilitate a united Ireland however. Northern Ireland would be isolated with no effective 'border' between it and the rest of the UK.

That's correct. I think Scottish Independence is a necessary precondition for UI to even be considered.

I was also initially concerned about any relationship between Ireland and Scotland in the event of independence (competition wise) but Brexit has shifted that. Northern Ireland would probably end up in the centre of a fairly balanced economic 'bloc'.
