The newly installed Prime Minister arrived at Bute House shortly after 4.15pm to hold brief talks with Nicola Sturgeon.

Mr Johnson’s entourage was booed loudly as he walked up the steps to the New Town mansion, which is the First Minister’s official residence, but the Tory leader smiled and waved as he walked in.

Earlier today he toured the Faslane naval base where the UK’s fleet of nuclear submarines is maintained.
