Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says Scots should be able to determine their future in the UK once the terms of Brexit become clear.
"Scotland should have the right to choose our future when the terms of Brexit are clear. We have a mandate to give the people that choice," Sturgeon told her pro-independence Scottish National Party conference to loud cheers on Tuesday.
The deputy leader told the conference there would be a new referendum on independence from the United Kingdom, without specifying when.
Angus Robertson, who lost his seat in the British parliament in the June general election, was speaking in the context of election dates that were to come, suggesting that a new poll on independence -- rejected by Scots in 2014 -- would be before the next election for Scotland's devolved parliament in 2021.
