Scottish Nationalists can demand another vote, but they won't get it as long as the Tories are in power. In as much as you can take Corbyn at his word, he is not in favour either, and nor are many in the Labour party. It might happen if the Scottish Parliament votes for it, but it's still not a sure thing to pass. Besides which, it isn't wise: Scotland can't pay its way and depends on EU and British (English) money. Out of the EU, Scotland would be in a worse economic position if it leaves the UK, and there's no guarantee that it would be allowed to join the EU in the near future: many EU members with a veto aren't keen to encourage separatist movements.
