More than half a million people in Scotland have signed a petition calling for Brexit to be cancelled.

The record-breaking Revoke Article 50 petition has gathered more than 539,000 signatories north of the border, analysis by STV News reveals.

It comes as the Scottish Parliament voted in favour of revocation on Wednesday ahead of so-called "indicative votes" at Westminster on Brexit options in the evening.

MSPs backed by 89 votes to 28 a call by the Scottish Greens for the UK to reverse Brexit if a second EU referendum cannot be held in time, with only the Scottish Tories voting against.

SNP MP Joanna Cherry has tabled a House of Commons motion to revoke Article 50 if the UK gets to the day before exit day on April 12 without an EU withdrawal deal.

Speaker John Bercow will have to choose from 16 suggested motions after MPs seized control of parliamentary business on Monday in an unprecedented vote.

Across the UK, more than 5.86m people have signed the Revoke Article 50 petition, far surpassing the 100,000 threshold for it to be considered in Parliament. MPs will debate it on Monday.

It has the most support of any proposal in the history of the House of Commons and government's petitions website.

The 539,000 signatories in Scotland amount to around a tenth of the population and is the equivalent of about 14% of the registered Scottish electorate.

Wednesday's debate at Holyrood calling for the Brexit result to be reversed, brought by the Scottish Greens, was backed by the SNP, Labour and the Lib Dems but is only a symbolic vote.

It asked MSPs to back revoking Article 50 if the UK's exit from the EU isn't be delayed long enough "to organise and conduct a People's Vote with an option to remain in the EU".

Last December, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that the UK has the unilateral right to cancel Brexit if it wishes.

The case was settled in the European courts after being brought by six Scottish politicians: Green MSPs Andy Wightman and Ross Greer, Labour MEPs David Martin and Catherine Stihler, SNP MEP Alyn Smith - and Ms Cherry.

Speaking in the European Parliament on Wednesday, Mr Smith asked colleagues to "leave the light on" so Scotland can find its way back into the EU if the UK leaves.

The SNP MEP said: "In the Scottish Parliament, we're debating revoking Article 50 because from a Scottish perspective, every single party in Scotland except the Conservatives are united around the view that the best Brexit is no Brexit.

"Chers collègues, I'm not asking you to solve our domestic discussions. I am asking you to leave a light on so we can find our way home."

Ms Cherry's motion calls for a vote on whether parliament supports no-deal if the UK reaches April 11 with no Brexit agreement in place.

If MPs do not approve leaving without a deal, the motion then demands the UK Government revokes Article 50.

The other 15 motions being considered by the Speaker include softer versions of Brexit, such as with an EU customs union or even single market membership, no-deal, or a second EU referendum.

Theresa May has said reversing the 52% Leave vote in the 2016 Brexit vote would be a "failure of democracy".

Responding to the petition, a spokesman for the UK Government said it "will not revoke Article 50".

He added: "We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union."
