The most important resource Scottland brings to the EU is destabilizing the UK, and setting an example for what happens when a country democracy decays down to the point of them making very poor political decisions “at the EU level”.
In the EU nobody cares if you make bad political decisions at the local level, like in Poland or Hungary, but once you create 4 years of painful Brexit negotiations for all other countries involved, then people care about you wasting their time.

The UK is in the driving seat here, destabilizing the UK benefits nobody but the financial powers in the UK figured that they'd rather be bigger fish in a much smaller pond that they control. The end result always was predictable. But Scotland and Ireland don't really benefit from 'The City' and as such lost a lot more than they gained. These side effects, conveniently ignored by the 'leave' camp come with a major cost attached, which will likely negate all of the gains.
