It sounds like Kirsty is doing the Paxman role on BBC Scotland's coverage, so it could be that she will be in a separate location - eg the Seven/Nine set - which can be taken as an OS into both BBC Scotland and the Network programme.
I'm not entirely sure why the nations need to do their own programmes this time around, it's not like there are elections for national Assembleys and Parliaments taking place at the same time. The story of the night is going to be the national one on this occasion, although I guess the additional cost of mounting a full programme over regular opt outs isn't great.
One detail that stood out to me is that Radio Scotland is simulcasting the BBC One Scotland coverage overnight.
I note the lack of mention of local radio in the press release.
