Yup, the Scots are much more keen on the EU than England. In fact, the success of the UKXP has been tipped to sway some Scots towards voting for independence, a 2 or 3% swing.

But Manuel Barroso and Claude Juncker (or however they spell their names) are on record as being opaquely negative about Scotland automatically getting membership. In fact I don't think there will be a problem, it's just that all politicians hate the idea of any area seceding, and issues like the Basque country in Spain are particularly sensitive.
