King Billy.
And he WASN'T known as William II in Scotland. This is a pedantic creation of subsequent times.
He was known as King William of Great Britain.

William III won the English, Scottish and Irish Crowns following the Glorious Revolution, during which his uncle and father-in-law, James II, was deposed.
He reigned as 'William II' in Scotland, but 'William III' in all his other realms.
Often he is referred to as William of Orange, a name he shared with many other historical figures.
Among Unionists in Northern Ireland and Scotland, he is today informally known as King Billy.
William III was appointed to the Dutch post of Stadtholder on 28 June 1672 (Old Style), and remained in office until he died. In that context, he is sometimes referred to as 'William Henry, Prince of Orange', as a translation of his Dutch title, Willem Hendrik, Prins van Oranje.
