My choice of the word Regional wasn't meant as a jibe at all, it was deliberate to mean any part of the UK, not just a country or a county but any region could say they were against it and therefore should be treated differently.  Scotland wasn't the only "part" of the UK that voted for Remain, there were regions of England that voted to remain and equally should be "ignored" as 0762 said.

It can only be taken as a "jibe" though.

Scotland's nation status is preserved in the act of union. She is meant to be an equal partner of England, not (to quote rees mogg) "a vassel state" or equated to a "region". We are not a "region" of anything, although more and more you hear that term being used down south.

Jim, you can take the meaning of the word however you want, but it really wasn't meant as a jibe!! Remember for the purposes of the referendum, the UK was split into 12 Regions, which in turn were split into 382 voting areas which were the ones that individually reported their results. I wasn't having a dig, that was the official terminology.

The question on the referendum was "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?".  The question does not refer to England or Scotland or any other country or region, there is no mechanism for only part of the UK to stay or leave the EU, it can only be the UK as a whole.  Every vote irrespective of where in the UK it was from had an equal weight towards the overall result.  After the votes were counted it was announced how each voting area within the UK voted and as you say every voting area of Scotland voted to remain but the overall vote was in favor of leave.  

My starting point in this was why should Scotland get different treatment to any other voting area or region in the UK that voted remain, as 0762 was intimating??  There were over 80 voting areas in England that voted remain as well as some in Wales and NI, should they get different treatment as well?  This was a UK wide referendum, the UK is who the EU will deal with for the negotiations and the current government will lead those negotiations on behalf of the whole of the UK, that can't change or be any different.
