Blair Kinghorn will start at full-back for Scotland in Saturday's Calcutta Cup meeting with England.

Toulouse's Kinghorn, 27, had missed the opening two matches in this season's Six Nations and replaces Harry Paterson.

Kyle Steyn takes over from Kyle Rowe on the right wing for Gregor Townsend's side.

The only change in the pack is Jamie Ritchie inclusion at blindside flanker, with Matt Fagerson dropping out.

After opening with a narrow win away to Wales, the Scots succumbed to defeat at home to France in round two.

Townsend's side have won the past three Calcutta Cup contests.

Scotland: Kinghorn, Steyn, Jones, Tuipulotu, Van der Merwe, Russell (co-capt), White; Schoeman, Turner, Fagerson, Gilchrist, Cummings, Ritchie, Darge (co-capt), Dempsey.
