British Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged that Brexit could make the UK's union stronger and will not mean the country stepping back from the world.
Her comments come ahead of a meeting with Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon who has called for a second independence referendum amid anger that Scotland voted overwhelmingly not to leave the EU. The British leader is due to trigger Brexit this week.
The meeting could be tense as Theresa May has refused to be drawn on the issue of a referendum for Scotland, other than to say that now is not the right time to hold one.
In a speech to staff at the Department for International Development in Scotland, the British leader said Brexit was an opportunity to strengthen ties with other nations.
