Ruth Davidson has pledged to campaign to stay in the European Union in the event of a second referendum.
The Scots Conservative Party leader told the BBC she did not intend to fly the "flag for Brexit".
She said: "I would quite happily never have a constitutional referendum in my lifetime on anything ever again".
The Remainer has previously said she wants the UK to keep the "largest amount of access" to the single market after Brexit.
She has also called for what she describes as an "open Brexit", which prioritises free trade and country's economic interests over curbing immigration.
Speaking before an event at the British Board of Jewish Deputies, to BBC head of news James Harding, Ms Davidson said: "Were there to be another referendum I'd vote to remain again."
The Scottish party leader also distanced herself from the Conservative election manifesto pledges on fox hunting and winter fuel payments which are devolved in Scotland.
She said: "I didn't want to revisit fox hunting". She also spoke of not wanting to abolish the winter fuel allowance.
Ms Davidson, who is openly gay and a member of the Church of Scotland, said it was a "real sadness" that she and her Catholic fiancée Jen Wilson were unable to marry in church.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
