My wife was born in Edinburgh and we'll be legging it up the M6 as fast as we can with her passport stuck to the inside of the windscreen if Scotland remain in the EU one way or the other.
Have you seen https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215 ?
Just checked, now 2,955,453 signatures and increasing by the rate of 50-100 a second.

I like the sentiment, but I don't think there is any realistic chance of this having any effect. The votes have been counted; the results are in. Accept it and move on.
(Also, this would define a new type of democracy - one where we take votes and decide by majority outcome, unless we don't like the majority outcoime in whcih case we simply do over the vote. Rinse and repeat until we finally get the desired outcome).
Note for the record that I am personally very pro European, and that I am severely disappointed by the outcome of the UK vote.
However, I am also pro democracy. Not because it's a good system -it's not, it sucks. But because all other systems are even worse.
This does, however, reinforce my belief that referendums are not a good way to make decisions. Too many voters have a below-average intelligence, and too many smart people know how to take advantage of that.
