Boris Johnson visited the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital this morning as part of his Scotland visit.
The Prime Minister was pictured touring the Lighthouse Laboratory, which is used to process coronavirus home-testing kits.
Reports have suggested his Scotland trip aims to help “save the Union” by persuading frontline and key workers there are great benefits of co-operating across the whole of the UK to beat the coronavirus pandemic.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has questioned the need for the visit, insisting is is not “essential” at a time when political leaders are urging people to stay at home – although she stressed the Prime Minister is welcome in Scotland.
His visit comes days after the SNP unveiled its roadmap to independence.
