They'll be sorry, but content to watch Scotland go down as a consequence of its own folly. There will be intense interest in the "Withdrawal Agreement" and political fortunes will depend on there being no generosity from the rest of the UK.
There is some concern as to the potential flight south of wiser Scots who see the writing on the wall if the Referendum (if at all held) goes the wrong way.
All the above is why the UK government won't allow a referendum for a very long time.

With respect Seph your aquaintences are immaterial. Like it or not the SNP are playing the political aspect of Brexit in that it didn't align with the wishes of the Scots.
It doesn't matter if eventually things may turn out better or not, the Scots feel they were sidelined because of the Union. That is the hand the SNP seem to be playing. That is the hand that works for them, or at least little Jimmy Krankie.
