Can Scotland veto? I don't think it can?

  It can't. Scottish Law is subordinate to Westminster.

    In theory. In practice Westminster would have to override devolved powers given to the Scottish Parliament which is a huge "no no." At the moment, Scotland has an effective veto, just because Westminister can change devolved powers doesn't change that fact. So, yes, Scotland has a veto on leaving the EU. It just isn't an iron-clad veto, but by effectively overriding Scotland on this one you're all but assuring Scottish independence. The real question is if Westminister WANTS to leave? If not a Scottish veto might be the political "out" they need.
