The former England boss succeeds Frank Hadden, who stood down two months ago after four years in charge in the wake of another disappointing RBS 6 Nations campaign.

Robinson, 45, leaves his role as head coach of Edinburgh, where he has been in charge for almost two seasons.

He will be tasked with reviving Scotland's dwindling fortunes, with Hadden having managed just one Six Nations win in each of the last three championships.

Robinson has been given time to achieve that aim after signing a three-year contract.

Speaking at a press conference at Murrayfield, Robinson said: "I'm delighted and honoured to be appointed head coach of Scotland.

"I've worked in Scotland now for 18 months and I've been really impressed by the attitude and potential of Scotland's rugby players.

"I'm now looking forward to developing that attitude and potential into winning performances."
