Should have voted for "independence" if they wanted to stay in the EU.

Why?
Switzerland is not in the EU and has borders with 4 EU countries.

That's the fundamental hypocrisy of Scottish Nationalists, in a nutshell.
If you're a Scottish Nationalist and you're critical of Britain pulling out of the EU while wanting independence from Britain, you're a hypocrite.
If you're concerned that Britain will lose economic opportunities as a result of leaving the EU but not care about the same thing happening to Scotland with independence from Britain, you're a hypocrite.
If you are in favour of independence from Britain but are critical of Britain wanting independence from the EU, you're a hypocrite.
There is no position that a Scottish Nationalist can take which agrees with their party and isn't hypocrisy.
Let's face it, the Scottish Nationalist desire to join the EU as an independent nation is nothing more than short-sighted greed.
They saw all the EU money flowing into Ireland for years and they want some of that action.
