NEARLY three quarters of Scots believe Britain was wrong to vote for Brexit, a new poll has revealed.
The YouGov survey found that overall more than half (54%) of those in the UK are against Brexit, with Scots being the most pro-EU.
The percentage for Scotland is higher than the 62% who voted to Remain in the EU referendum in 2016.
The rest of the UK's results were a mixed picture with 66% of those in London against leaving the EU, 53% in North England, 49% in the south of England and 46% in the Midlands and Wales.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
