The emphasis was on the fact whilst Scotland did vote 62% to remain a member of the EU, in quite a few regions it was much closer then the SNP would of liked. It certainly wasn't an overwhelming majority of 75%+ of the vote. If this translates into a taste for independence themselves from a union that has existed long before the EU, who knows. Certainly the Scots I work with don't believe it will happen.
Until talks get underway and Scotland formally petitions for a second referendum we will have to wait and see.
For those of you interested, the BBC have a good interactive map showing remain areas in yellow, leave in blue with breakdowns ect.
