Nothing can be done until we see what the UK negotiates and gets from the EU, it may be the final deal is not too different from what we have now in the end.
The EU will not 'deal' with Scotland until, out of respect for the UK and this vote,the matter of the UKs exit is nearer finalised.
That is when Nicola and the Scottish parliament can then have their concerns addressed,all she needs in place before, is the granting of a referendum to be so called by the Scottish govt.
The referendum does not need to be held for years.
She has that time because in my opinion, the Scottish Nationailst party will be governing Scotland for at least another decade or more.

She has shown her interest, at least Europe now know where she stands.
Perhaps it would be wise to leave it until the next election.
I totally agree with you that Nicola Sturgeon is pretty safe as the Scottish leader. I don't personally like her, but she certainly puts her party first and will fight for her country.
