Theresa May has met with Nicola Sturgeon as she prepares to formally trigger Brexit on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister and Scotland’s First Minster came face to face at a hotel in Glasgow for around an hour on Monday.
The pair’s discussion came the day before the Scottish Parliament is set to vote in favour of calls for a second independence referendum and two days before the British government begin the Brexit process.
Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon met at a hotel in Glasgow for around an hour.
It follows a series of talks between UK ministers and those from the devolved nations over the UK's approach to leaving the EU.
Scottish ministers say there has been no clarity over how Scotland's interests will be represented as Article 50 is triggered, and the role the Scottish Government will play in negotiations.
Ahead of the meeting, Mrs May said her position will not change on Ms Sturgeon's call for a second independence referendum by spring 2019.
She would not be drawn on whether a vote could take place further into the future, restating her view that "now is not the time" for another ballot.
The First Minister wants the powers to hold a referendum between autumn 2018 and spring 2019, when she says the UK's Brexit deal will become clear.
Mrs May said a vote during that time frame would be "unfair" to the Scottish people.
"My position is very simple and it hasn't changed," she said. "It is that now is not the time to be talking about a second independence referendum and that's for a couple of reasons.
"First of all, now is the point when we are triggering Article 50, we're starting negotiations for leaving the European Union. Now is the time when we should be pulling together, not hanging apart. Pulling together to make sure we get the best possible deal for the whole of the UK.
"Also I think it would be unfair on the people of Scotland to ask them to make a significant decision until all the facts were known, at a point where nobody knows what the situation is going to be.
"My position isn't going to change, which is that now is not the time to be talking about a second independence referendum.”
