Twas worse than that. The Better together campaign repeatedly empahasised that the only way Scotland were guaranteed membership of the EU was to reject independence.
There seems to be quite a few No voters now saying that they would vote for independence because of this significant shift in the political landscape.
The United Kingdom seems to be less united than ever.

Worst case scenario for us is they become the accessor state. Basically Scotland retains our membership. Not sure how feasible that is. If the EU wanted to make it happen though they would find a way.

Lots of the questions that we had to face before now have a significantly different angle. I suppose that a lot of the issues that would have to be resolved would also apply to the cross border arrangements in Ireland.
