Glasgow prop Alex Allan and Edinburgh flanker Hamish Watson have been added to the Scotland squad for their pre-Six Nations training camp in St Andrews.
The pair joined up with the remainder of the squad on Sunday night with preparations starting on Monday afternoon for the team's opening Six Nations fixture against England at Murrayfield on Saturday, February 6.
Watson, 24, made the first of his two appearances for Scotland in last year's Six Nations game against Italy, while Allan, 23, has featured once for his country, as a replacement against USA on the 2014 summer tour.
Scotland coach Vern Cotter has a couple of concerns among his centres with Glasgow duo Alex Dunbar and Mark Bennett nursing injuries.
Dunbar sustained a mild posterior thigh strain in the Warriors' 22-5 win over Racing 92 at Rugby Park in the European Champions Cup on Saturday, and will require ongoing assessment and treatment.
Bennett sustained a shoulder injury in the reverse fixture against Racing 92 in Paris on January 9, but is making good progress in his recovery.
