I'd say they just get significantly more likely. Scotland wasn't too far off last time they voted on independence (55/45 I believe). Now that Britain has voted to pull them out of the EU, that might be the straw that broke the camels back.
Add to that all the broken promises made by London at the last minute to avert a Yes vote. They won't be able to pull off that trick again. Also factor in that staying with the UK outside of the EU is now the unknown, whereas before breaking from the union was.
