If the majority of the Nation wanted to leave, who is the rest of the world to tell them they are wrong for doing so? If Scotland is happy with remaining in the EU and surrendering their identity,  then so be it. William Wallace might be rolling over in his grave 

I am actually with you (other than equating Brexit to American independence, very different situations) because that was the decision of the voters. One of the reasons I do not begrudge Scotland or NI from making any moves at this point.

That is what Sinn Fein is trying to do, as always of course. I think NI would support reunification if they separate with the UK, though, because if the expulsion from the EU is what is prompting the move, then reunifying with the RoI would guarantee reentry into the confederation.
