Opening the five-day event at the Scottish Exhibition ­Centre, party president Tim Farron said he shared values with many people in Scotland, and said he feared the remainder of the UK would be worse off as a result.

His call came after Scottish leader Willie Rennie called on pro-independence supporters not to question the “loyalty” of pro-UK supporters like him.
