.....Scotland voted to remain part of the UK. And since the EU leave/remain vote which followed was about the UK as a whole - and not it's constituent parts - there isn't much of a basis for an arguement that they should have another independence referendum. Lots of cities, London for example, voted to remain - no one is seriously suggesting that London should seek independence as a consequence of not getting its way.
