Speaking about Scotland's place in the upcoming talks with Brussels Ms Sturgeon said: "In 2014, we were told if we voted Yes we would impale our place in the EU".
Ms Sturgeon described the election, which Mrs May called in a bid to increase the Tory majority at Westminster, as an "opportunity to make positive statement about the kind of country we want Scotland to be".
Ms Sturgeon travelled to Hawick today (Monday, June 5) to back two SNP candidates as campaigning enters its final days.

"If parliamentary arithmetic allowed it, I would want the SNP to be part of a progressive alternative to a Conservative government, not as a coalition, but on an issue by issue basis", Sturgeon said.
He said: "We are targeting to win seats like Edinburgh West, East Dunbartonshire, North East Fife, Caithness, Argyll and the Highlands. Do they want an MP who will do nothing more than advance the cause for another divisive independence referendum, or do they want an MP that will stand up for the local community?"
