I don't think the SNP will lose seats over Brexit; Scotland was strongly remain in the referendum and the SNP has been consistent in standing on a remain ticket. That being said I think Scotland will be a key battleground in any General Election that occurs in the near future; it's a given that the Tories will take a kicking, but what happens to Labour there will be significant. Personally I think that in Scotland more than anywhere they are going to pay the price for their fence sitting, ‘remain to some - leave to others’ approach.
As an aside, if the SNP get a further independence referendum (which would be their price for going into a coalition with Labour should that situation arise) and secure a leave vote and then follow through with their stated intention of joining the EU, it is going to be fun to see how the Scottish people are going to react to EU enforced customs posts on their border with England.
