I'd not be so sure that an Indyref2 vote would so easily have a 'no' majority. Do not under-estimate how much Scotland resents being dragged along for an English Brexit that will do it no favours and goes against the majority view in Scotland. Do not under-estimate how much Tory governments are hated in Scotland and with good reason given the track record of how they have treated Scotland. So it is brave to claim independence would be rejected again and again. A lot has changed since 2015. Besides, surely its only fair? England wants out of the EU and Scotland wants out of the UK - same principle, no? Brexiteers must understand and sympathise with the arguments.
Of course an indyref2 could have a different outcome, just as a second brexit referendum could. That is democracy for you, but extremist forces fear that.

So you keep on having referendums until you get the result you want?
One of Scotland's key exports to england is fresh foods such as meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, salads. In the event of a no deal and subsequent trade war we could show solidarity with the EU by boycotting those exports.

The rest of the uk is a much bigger market for Scotland than the rest of the EU anyway
So lots of opportunity to enter new markets in the EU. If the english want to keep on buying scottish products, they'll have tp pay more. It's called market mechanism.
