Why would the EU want anything to do with Scotland?

Same with Catalonia. More trouble than they're worth.

Yeah. My understanding is first, Johnson has to allow a referendum of Scotland.
Second, if Scotland secedes after the UK leaves the EU, they will have to apply for membership as a new member. Spain has promised to veto that application because they don’t want the same thing to happen in Basque and Catalonia.

A lot of northerners said the same thing about the southern states in April of 1861.

If the Scots want to secede from the UK (And they hate the English) the only way they can do it is with EU welfare money that will have to replace the welfare money they presently get from London. Popcorn needed!
