Nicola Sturgeon and Theresa May have recorded video messages wishing people across Scotland and the UK a happy St Andrew's Day.

The First Minister asked Scots to look after friends and neighbours and help make the day a truly special day.

In the video message Sturgeon said: "This year, we're not simply inviting people to attend celebrations, although we hope that lots of you will.

"We're also encouraging people to help each other - to look after friends, neighbours, or people in need. We would like people to share for St Andrew.

"If as many of us as possible do that, we can all demonstrate the solidarity and inclusion that we want modern Scotland to be built on. We can make St Andrew's Day a truly special day - one that highlights the very best aspects of Scotland."

Prime Minister Theresa May looked back at Scotland's past achievements while also commenting on modern innovations such as the burgeoning computer games industry and university research work.

She also took time to commend the Murray brothers for their tennis successes this year.

She said: "The whole United Kingdom takes pride in Scotland's success.

"And with Scotland's pioneering spirit as a vital element in our union of nations, I am confident that together we can seize the opportunities of the future and ensure the continued success of our United Kingdom for generations to come.

"So let me wish everyone in the UK and across the world - a very happy St Andrew's Day."
