As she spoke, Leave backers shouted "traitor" and "treachery in the Palace of Westminster", but pro-Remain campaigners attempted to drown out the comments.
The pro-EU protesters shouted "stop Brexit" and "revoke Article 50" through a loudspeaker.
Regarding the meeting, the SNP leader said she came out of it not much clearer on where May is “prepared to give ground than I was before I went in".

She added she would "continue to stand up for Scotland’s interests because Scotland’s interests are in jeopardy at the moment."
Sturgeon continued to say she was "very concerned that that will continue to be the case – and that perhaps neither the Tories or Labour, in these discussions they’re having, are paying enough interest if any interest at all to what Scotland’s interests are".
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
