That's not entirely accurate. At the time of the referendum the EU said Scotland wasn't guaranteed membership of the EU if it left the UK. I don't recall anyone promising that they would remain regardless of what the rest of the UK did. Had Scotland voted for independence they would have been out of the EU anyway.
What it boils down to is that the EU doesn't really want to prop up Scotland.
As a Scot can you explain why you want to be part of a federal Europe with little control over your own country rather than in a UK with increasing devolved powers and a financial shoulder to lean on?
