Adam McBurney is the latest name to be added to the touring party, with the Ulster hooker replacing the injured Dave Cherry. McBurney, a former Ireland under-20 international, will join Edinburgh over the summer.

The tour is an opportunity for some of the nation’s most talented youngsters to get experience of international rugby but there are also some left-field call-ups for the matches against England A on June 27, Romania on July 7 and Georgia on July 14.

With Gregor Townsend away on the Lions tour, Mike Blair will take charge of Scotland as interim head coach.

Here are the 18 new faces in the squad:

Born in Canada, Ewan Ashman qualifies for Scotland through his Edinburgh-born father. The Sale Sharks hooker was part of Gregor Townsend's Guinness Six Nations squad but was not capped. The 21-year-old is a former Scotland under-20 international. In the absence of Fraser Brown and Stuart McInally he is likely to win his first full cap on the summer tour.
