Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has announced his final six nations squad.
Gloucester centre Matt Scott, who missed out on selection in the autumn, returns to the fold.
Cotter has also named uncapped Edinburgh Rugby forwards Simon Berghan (prop) and Cornell Du Preez (back-row).
Commenting on his squad for the Six Nations, Cotter said: “It’s a well-balanced and exciting group that have played a lot of rugby together, know each other well and are ambitious to do well in a Scotland jersey.
“I think if we get our mind-set right we can be competitive and push for wins in every game in this campaign.”
This year’s championship will be the New Zealander’s last in charge of the national side.
He will take over as Montpellier coach this summer and will be replaced by Glasgow Warriors’ Gregor Townsend.
Scotland will begin their campaign at home to Ireland on February 4.
