Two people admitted to a Scottish hospital after returning from Mexico have been confirmed as the first British cases of swine flu.
Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said both patients, a man and a woman, were recovering well.
She said seven other people who had been in contact with them were now displaying mild symptoms.
At least 103 people in Mexico are suspected to have died after contracting swine flu.
Both the Scottish patients were from the Forth Valley area of central Scotland.
The pair, who had been travelling together, returned from Mexico on 21 April.
