I would imagine it's the latter as Scotland would identify as its own new sovereign nation and would need to apply for entrance to EU. Either way it goes it's messy.
Well actually, from what I have read, the EU countries can vote and just allow Scotland to basically skip the admission process and continue as we are at the moment. So yeah Crossless, it would nullify the Brexit vote in Scotland but as soon as one EU country votes against that, Scotland would have to officially reapply to join and go through all the trouble everyone else goes through to join the union.
