Not correct.
The question of the United Kingdom’s membership of the EU was put to the electorate of the United Kingdom. This process was handled in identical fashion by every returning officer in the United Kingdom, who handed the results from their polling districts directly to the Chief Counting Officer appointed to oversee the process.
Totting up the results by region or by nation is statistically interesting and may be politically useful, but should not detract from the fact that Scottish voters were fully aware that they were taking part in a UK event (by virtue of the fact that they opted to remain in the UK two years earlier), and it is only the nationalist lobby in Scotland (plus English remainiacs desperate for any angle they can grab hold of) that persists in attempting to disenfranchise those in Scotland who did vote Leave (me among them) by trying to portray Scotland as having had some sort of block-vote for Remain squashed by nasty England.
