Many people pointing out the impracticality of this because of the pound and the border issue if there were an independent Scotland. This would be a logistical nightmare, but the EU would likely welcome Scotland back into the union and support a strong border like what is happening in the Irish Sea. But these hypotheticals are just bargaining chips the EU has to force the UK back into the customs union and single market. Who knows, maybe a decade from now there will be a unified Ireland, a free Scotland and the UK will have abolished the monarchy even! But even if these aren’t realistic goals, it still makes sense for Brussels to support these movements.
