Considering that was before Brexit was even a thing, and Scotland voted Remain by 10%, I don't think that's a particularly unreasonable position for them to take.

It was over 40 years before the people got to vote again on the UK's participation in what was the EEC, is now the EU. How much changed in that time? When we joined the EEC in 1973 there was no European parliament, there was no single market, there was no European Court of Injustice, there was no Freedom of Movement. Did we get a vote on any of these major changes to our country? Is it only the things that
les bien pensents agree with that we get to vote again and again for? Sorry, but I think Scotland had a very good case for independence back in 2014 and the UK would certainly have treated them a good deal better than the EU are behaving today, but you just can't keep having referendums on the same thing when you don't get the result you don't want.
Fun fact: more people voted for Brexit in Scotland than voted for the only pro-Independence political party in 2017.
