The Remain campaign is lacking a lot of the tangible things that enabled the No campaign to thrive in Scotland (despite the furious spinning by the Yessers, who are still trying to claim they have demographics on their side).

Here in the UK the benefits of the fully integrated economy, borderless travel and commerce and a common currency managed for the needs of all are real. The benefits of EU membership ... well apart from a vague sense that togetherness is probably a good thing, what is there? We don't even have the common currency and the common border, not that either of those things is especially appealing right now.

In Scotland, voters of all ages were able to appreciate and make a deliberate choice to remain beneficiaries of these things. But in the EU, if you vote Remain, what exactly are you voting for?
