Uncapped Glasgow wing Sean Lamont is the only new face in Scotland's 26-man squad for the RBS Six Nations meeting with France at Murrayfield on 21 March.
The former Rotherham player has caught the eye in recent Celtic League games.
"I'm over the moon," said the 23-year-old Lamont, who was signed last summer. "When I joined Glasgow, I was looking to continue my rugby career.
"The prospect of playing for Scotland, although an ambition I cherished, wasn't uppermost in my mind."
Lamont, who also represented Dundee HSFP, played for Scotland's sevens team in the Commonwealth Games at Manchester in 2002.
While at Sheffield Hallam University, he played for Leicestershire Colts and Scottish Exiles.
He has played in 23 of Glasgow's 24 games this season, scoring seven tries.
Scotland have also recalled flanker Cameron Mather, who missed the defeat in Italy after injuring an ankle against England.
But they are still without Lions loosehead prop Tom Smith, who also picked up a knock against England.
Scotland squad:
Backs: Mike Blair (Edinburgh), Chris Cusiter (Borders), Simon Danielli (Bath), Andy Henderson (Glasgow), Ben Hinshelwood (Worcester), Sean Lamont (Glasgow), Brendan Laney (Edinburgh) Derrick Lee (Edinburgh) Dan Parks (Glasgow) Chris Paterson (Edinburgh) capt, Tom Philip (Edinburgh), Simon Webster (Edinburgh)
