EDINBURGH:
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will meet EU leaders in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss possible ways for Scotland to remain in the bloc after the United Kingdom as a whole voted to leave, she told the Scottish parliament on Tuesday.
Sturgeon said she would meet European Parliament President Martin Schulz and planned to set out Scotland's position directly to the European Commission.

Most Scots voted to remain in the EU in last Thursday's referendum.
