They did.
An interesting change is in the number of 'European' families (both partners from other EU states, single persons from EU states, persons from EU states with UK partners ) who all voted No last time because they foresaw a potential threat to their situation in society. Now, however, they see perceive a greater threat to their situation should Scotland be dragged out of the EU. It is particularly troublesome for those English people who have EU partners. Not an enormous number of people, granted, but a snapshot of how opinions can quickly change.
I think Scottish independence is now inevitable, it's a matter of when, not if.
An interesting question is citizenship. The UK and Ireland (which seceded in 1922) have a common travel area and what is almost, but not quite, common citizenship. I strongly suspect that Scottish residents would be able to claim continued UK citizenship if they wished. The great question must be whether residents of other parts of the UK will be allowed to claim Scottish citizenship. Because if Scotland is in the EU and England and Wales aren't, such citizenship might be attractive.

According to the 2014 document, it would be available to British Citizens 'habitually' resident in Scotland automatically, along with Scottish born brits outside of Scotland. Others will meet further specific criteri etc.
Valid point on preference, as seen in the spike of irish passport applications since Brexit.
Blueinsa, you would certainly qualify, what say you, fancy baing an EU citizen after all if it all goes that way?
Going off policy up here at the moment surrounding education my guess is that Welsh and Northern Irish will be offered and the English wont be.
Sums the SNP up.
But why would a non-Scottish person be offered Scottish citizenship? We are all UK citizens...but you (i assume) are also an English citizen as you were born there. Therefore you have UK and English citizenship....someone from Scotland has Scottish and UK citizenship...they cant have English citizenship.
Coincidentally, i was born in England...with English parents, moving here (NI) as a child...so i cant avail of a UK and Irish passport which is part of the GFA....my wife and kids can, as they were all born here.
