Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) and Roseanne Niven (Crieff) were not available for selection due to commitments to their American universities.
Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry) was also unavailable due to her selection for the European team for the Ping Junior Solheim Cup match in Sweden.

Scottish champion Jenna Wilson is the only member of the Scotland team who has played in the women's home internationals previously although Emily Ogilvy and Michele Thomson did play for Scotland in the European women's team championship in Spain in July.

Four members of the Scotland team who retained the Stroyan Cup at the recent girls' home internationals have been chosen to make their debut at women's international level - Carly Booth, Megan Briggs, Kelsey MacDonald and Pamela Pretswell.

It must be one of the youngest teams fielded by Scotland in the women's home international. The average age is 18.8.
Scotland have not won the women's home internationals' title since they were champions in two successive years - 1990 at Hunstanton and 1991 at Aberdovey.
