That's correct. The UK, inside the EU, could have vetoed the admission of Scotland to spite them. But now, that's not the case anymore...

- nolok 10y agoIf I remember well even the EU said "well, quick admission is not certain, you would have to apply like any one else", then there was the Spanish question, the currency choice, ... Scotland wanted in the EU but weren't sure they would be able to be properly and quickly outside the UK, while staying in was the safe way to keep EU membership. Now they know for sure they can only be in by being outside the UK.
