That vote in 1975 was really just a referendum on a trading agreement for the main European countries. What we see form the EU today, the number of countries, the Euro, Schengen etc were not even talked about during it, it was solely about a trade deal with Europe. That might be where the dislike comes from, it was a democratic vote to align trade, but after that there were no referendums on subsequent large changes to the EU.
In 1973, all but 2 Scottish regions voted Yes to enter the trade deal, it was a decisive vote, something that should have been mandated in the 2016 referendum.
