. . . to Snowden, I do NOT believe this would be of any benefit to him in any event.
Given the oft-demonstrated proclivity of the US to ignore laws (domestic, foreign, and international) whenever it suits the gov't, I would expect that the US would simply execute an "extraordinary rendition" operation, using armed agents, if necessary, in order to bring him back. This was widely reported to have been done in the Abu Omar case, against Italian law and in spite of Italy being a long-term NATO ally. I fully expect that this was a NOT a singular event but that it is quite normal, even though other instances do not often come to light publicly.
IMO, the bottom line is that if Snowden values his freedom, he needs to remain in a jurisdiction that provides him asylum and is WILLING AND FULLY ABLE to guarantee it by virtue of its own power. Scotland may be willing but could not credibly physically oppose any such rendition attempt.
The downside for Snowden to remaining in Russia is that while Putin has thus far not kowtowed to the US in his case by sacrificing principle for the sake of expediency, it is unknowable if his successor will be willing to do the same.
