US senator Bernie Sanders has aired his thoughts on the question of Scottish independence, saying "if they want to go their own way, they should be allowed to".
The Democrat was asked for his gut feeling on the issue as he appeared on Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday show.
However, the left-wing senator conceded he was "not an expert on UK politics".
Mr Sanders said: "Look, I'm not an expert on UK politics, I very much appreciate what the people of Scotland have done and what they're fighting for.
"My initial thought, not being an expert, they want to go their own way, they should be allowed to."
He then joked: "Don't tell anybody I said that!"
The SNP said Mr Sanders was recognising Scotland's right to hold an independence referendum.
MSP Fiona Hyslop said: "Any true democrat can see it is for the people of Scotland, not politicians, to decide their future - so Bernie Sanders' support for Scots to have a say over their future comes as no surprise.
"The Tories and pro-Brexit Labour are increasingly isolated in their disgraceful denial of democracy - even members and senior figures in their own parties recognise this.
"The right for Scotland to decide its own future is unquestionable and the need for independence has never been so essential - it is the only way to escape the hugely damaging consequences of Westminster control and build a better future for everyone."

hush money paid to Stormy Daniels, and, despite the circumstances, Seth Meyers is pretty sure Trump was thrilled — if only because it was the twice-impeached former president’s first invite back to a New York event in some time.According to the New York Times on Thursday, Trump was invited to testify before a Manhattan Grand jury, signaling that an indictment may be pretty imminent in this investigation.“And despite everything, Trump was still excited to get invited to something in New York again,” Meyers joked, before imitating what he predicted Trump’s exact response was. “‘I’m back baby.

Naman Ramachandran Kevin Lygo, managing director, media and entertainment at ITV, has revealed what he thinks are the key ingredients to the success of the upcoming revival of “Big Brother” on the U.K. commercial broadcaster this fall. The British version of the iconic reality TV series is set to return to screens this year after what will be a five-year hiatus on network ITV2 and streaming platform ITVX. From its launch in 2000 until 2010 the show aired on Channel 4 before moving to Channel 5 in 2011. It ran there for seven years until Channel 5 finally retired the format in 2018.

Make America Great Again?’ I said, ‘So just ask yourself from, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American? When was it great?’”
