"What's going to happen with the UK is that there are going to be deeply damaging and painful consequences ... [of Britain leaving the EU] I want to try and protect Scotland from that," Sturgeon said Sunday.

But one analyst has suggested that Scotland could declare independence before Britain's departure from the EU is finalized.
It could then define itself as a "successor state" and effectively inherit Britain's EU membership, including the budget rebate, said Andrew Scott, a professor of European Union studies at the University of Edinburgh.
