Résumé:The June 2016 referendum – in which Scotland signaled a clear pro-European choice, contrary to the British norm – has helped to revive and renew the debate on the future of Scotland within the UK. This article analyses the overlap between the two challenges of European integration and the British Union over the period 2016-2020, focusing on the institutional confrontation between the governments of Edinburgh and London and the debates on the political scene and in public opinion. While the contours of the post-Brexit era are still unclear, the Brexit saga has accelerated centrifugal tendencies, redrawn the contours of the pro-independence camp and strengthened the prospect of a new referendum on Scottish independence.
