Kelly Brown has been recalled to the Scotland starting XV for Saturday's Six Nations encounter with France at Murrayfield.
The 31-year-old forward, who was dropped following the team's opening-weekend defeat to Ireland, also regains the captaincy from Greig Laidlaw.
Meanwhile, Geoff Cross and David Denton have both been given the nod by interim coach Scott Johnson.
Scotland will be looking for their second win of the tournament after narrowly beating Italy two weeks ago.
Scotland team to face France:
Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Alex Dunbar, Matt Scott, Sean Lamont, Duncan Weir, Greig Laidlaw, Ryan Grant, Scott Lawson, Geoff Cross, Richie Gray, Jim Hamilton, Johnnie Beattie, Kelly Brown, David Denton
Replacements: Ross Ford, Alasdair Dickinson, Euan Murray, Tim Swinson, Ryan Wilson, Chris Cusiter, Duncan Taylor, Max Evans
