The historic referendum revealed Leave won thanks to a surge of votes in the north of England and Wales, but the polls showed north of the border overwhelmingly wanted to remain in the EU.
Scotland voted 62 per cent to 32 per cent to stay in the EU.
Following the referendum, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed that a second Scottish independence referendum is “on the table”.
The SNP called, and lost, a referendum in 2014 by 55 per cent to 44 per cent.
In the wake of the the UK voting to sever ties with Europe, Ms Sturgeon called it “democratically unacceptable” for Scotland to also be dragged out.
Confirming her position, she said she could not let the overwhelming majority of Scottish voters wishing to stay in the EU be ignored.
She said: “It is therefore stating the obvious option of second referendum must be on the table and is is on the table.”
In a press conference, she lamented the result saying: “It’s not a situation I wanted Scotland or the UK to be in.”
There was the possibility if Scotland had voted to become independent in 2014 they could have been forced out the EU, a driving factor for many voting to stay in.
There was now a “significant and material change” to the circumstances of two years ago, and Ms Sturgeon said: “Scotland should have the right to hold another referendum if there are significant and material change to the circumstances in 2014 such as Scotland being taken out of EU.
“Scotland faces that prospect.”
