Scotland set themselves up for their two-Test tour to South Africa with a comfortable victory over the Barbarians at Murrayfield.

Chris Paterson emerged as the hero of the nine-try romp, claiming a personal haul of 31 points, including two tries.

The Barbarians gave the Scots an early scare, going ahead through a Kieran Dawson try.

But the Scots quickly regained control with Mikey Blair and Andy Henderson also finishing with two tries each.

The Scots opted to play a mixed early game as they combined handling sequences with kicks into space and their hard work earned them a 24-12 advantage by the break.

They made a spate of changes at the restart, with skipper Jason White among those being given a breather to be replaced as captain by Paterson.

Paterson's first act of the half was to convert Marcus Di Rollo's try and any prospect of a Barbarians fightback was ended when substitute hooker Dougie Hall was driven over by his pack-mates.

Replacement scrum-half Sam Pinder marked his Scotland debut with a try before France centre Tony Marsh powered over for a third try for the Barbarians.

But it was not long before Scotland notched their half-century through Blair and they went on to ease to victory.
