There was some noticeable error in the polls for Scottish voting intention as well. Labour's vote was underestimated, and the SNP vote was overestimated. The SNP lead over Labour was estimated at 18pc, but was actually only 10pc. So the loss of SNP seats was more than was expected. The broad outline of the result was unaffected — the polls correctly suggested that the SNP would lose seats, but still win most seats, and that the Conservatives would gain seats.
