Can I request a Scottish registration plate from the dealer?

When registering a new car, is it possible for the garage to request it is registered in an area away from where I live? I would like to have a Scottish registration plate number.

The dealer will be allocated a region identifier (the first two letters of the registration plate) based on their location. The only way to get a new car registered in Scotland is by buying from a Scottish dealership.
