Scotland forward Nathan Hines has announced his retirement from international rugby.
The 34-year-old, who featured in this year's World Cup in New Zealand, won 77 caps since he made his debut in 2000.
"He is one of Scotland's toughest ever competitors and a fantastic role model for all young Scottish players," said Scotland head coach Andy Robinson.
Hines will continue his club career with French side Clermont.
