They would acquire Scottish citizenship instead. Similar to where any part of an existing country breaks away.

As I stated earlier, so-called "EU citizenship" is nothing of the sort. EU citizenship is a brand name for certain entitlements a citizen of France has when visiting Germany, or vice versa. If EU citizenship was essentially the same thing as true national citizenship, it would be possible to go to an EU consulate in your home country and apply for it. But you can't, because there's no such process. You can only get it as a side-effect of holding actual citizenship of a country that is a member of the EU.
