Nothing can be done until after we leave the EU.

The government will not grant another referendum before as it would hinder our exit negotiations.

Scotland cannot apply for any kind of membership as they are not a sovereign nation, and it would be blocked by Spain and Belgium at a minimum.

Post EU exit a referendum could be granted but that would leave Scotland outside the UK and the EU. They could apply for membership of the EU but they would have to accept everything that consists of.
