Not a strong one in the context of international law. But, There was a Crimean referendum and as illegitimate as it was, Crimea is now permanently Russian and the majority of locals seem to be alright with that.
If the UK releases Scotland peacefully and legally with full international recognition of the process and another region with national aspirations does the same elsewhere in the EU... That's how common law is made. Common law is hard to deny.
Obviously there's hair. Who gets to call a referendum? Who gets to gerrymander it? etc.
