Then you'll luv this latest revelation re Gibraltar's future status in the EU Jim:-

“The Chief Minister has today confirmed in Parliament that Gibraltar could join the Customs Union as part of a ‘differentiated solution’ in the Brexit withdrawal agreement, meaning it would be more European than the UK.”

So let’s just update ourselves:

ENGLAND: voted Leave, getting what it wanted
WALES: voted Leave, getting what it wanted
NORTHERN IRELAND: voted Remain, getting special treatment
GIBRALTAR (with a population the size of Falkirk!!!!): voted Remain, getting special treatment
SCOTLAND: voted Remain, GETTING NOTHING!!

ISN'T IT GREAT BEING AN EQUAL PARTNER AS PREACHED BY ALL THOSE SHAMELESS "BETTER TOGETHER" UNIONIST CRETONS EH? I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair they are getting special treatment because of the geography, not because they voted Remain!!  Both Gibralter and NI have a physical border with the EU, England, Scotland and Wales do not, that is the difference, not how they voted.  There is no need to give Scotland any special treatment, just like there isn’t a need to give Wales or England any special treatment with regards to borders.

Northern ireland is getting special treatment because the DUP are propping up mays turgid, rotten government and because its their only bargaining chip. Normally the english would not give a flying xxxx about NI. The DUP don't want NI treated any differently to the rest of the UK but the mental and political gymnastics required to make that happen will be potentially damaging to scotland and its business community. If a separate deal is on the table for one devolved administration (albeit one that isn't even working currently) it can certainly be in place for another.

The real problem for scotland actually goes beyond brexit now, we are tied the ankles of english nationalism currently. People who support the union with it's complete lack of safeguards for the 'equal' nations are going to have to wrap their heads around that eventually.

Its only heading one way and its going to get far worse before it gets better.
